Off ward field

The Off ward field is set to true if the patient spent any time off ward.

Collection Instructions

The field is located under the Service/Location field.

If the patient spent any time beyond the difference between Accept DtTm and Arrive DtTm off ward, check the "off ward" checkbox.

Background

This is where we are now, as far as I understand. Please correct if any of this is off.

Once comfortable with new date we will stop all VAR 1-6 entries and eliminate the fields. Old data would be transferred to new fields where the translation is not ambiguous. We can keep a snapshot of Centralized with the data pre-translation in case we ever want to go back to it.

Var 1, 2, 6 are already taken care of in new dispo structure ICU Var 3, 5 would go into bed borrow structure ICU Var4 parked in ICU Julie agreed we can eliminate Med Var 5 OVZ would go into bed borrow structure Med Var 3,4 are not used

We have decided to replace Var3 and 5 with a checkbox under the dispo tab. The box will be (checked / true) if any time was spent off ward.

The pre-admit, previous, location, dispo fields would all use the collection location, not the off-ward bed borrow.
