Revision as of 16:14, 2022 December 8
Special collection and reporting instructions apply for patients who leave against medical advice (AMA).
Collection
- Dispo:
- enter AMA (can type AMA in dropdown)
- AMA should be entered whether the patient follows the WRHA AMA process (signing form etc) or just goes AWOL
- Dispo DtTm:
- The Dispo DtTm field is when the person left AMA, or was noted to be gone and assumed AMA. If a bed is "held" and the patient indeed returns, goes back into that bed without being readmitted (because the bed was held), then this isn't to be considered to be an AMA. This follows the same kind of reasoning as Visits to temporary locations.
- BedHeldEnd DtTm:
- Enter if a bed was held hoping a pt might return
Reporting and Indicators
AMA affects the following:
- Patients who left AMA are excluded in Readmission Rate to ICU and Readmission to MedWard
- AMA is being counted as HOME in reporting for the location the patient went after discharge
Which Reports or Indicators? No specific report but commonly ask in database request. --JMojica 15:14, 2022 December 8 (CST) |
- AMA as itself for specific request
