CBA

• CBA (Central Bed Access)(VIC) taking mostly from Grace ER to decant as they are still under renos.--Llemoine 07:45, 2018 March 28 (CDT)
• CBA = Central Bed Access It is a list from Grace/ HSC/ STB which identifies patients who require a Subacute bed. They call the Winnipeg Regional Health Team CBA = 204-791-8599 which will generate a list where these Subacute patients can be sent to. However Vic is the only hospital to have subacute wards however the plan is to have subacute beds at 7Oaks and Concordia available in the future.

There is info about "CBA (Central Bed Access)" on this page - why? Are these subacute wards at the VIC ie Transitional Care? Do we need to know more about the CBA designation or process, does it affect our collection or reporting? Does this have anything to do with CAU, or why is it in here? If we need this info at all, is this the right place or should it be on a page of its own? Or is it just a bit of info that has nothing to do with us and that we could delete?
