This does not include patients who just arrived at an ER elsewhere and were not admitted as inpatient there.
If that location is already an inpatient location, then the pre admit inpatient institution will be the same the [[Previous Location]].
For example, a patient arriving from Selkirk Hospital ward via the local ER would have the ER coded in the [[Previous Location field]] and Selkirk ward coded in the [[Pre-admit Inpatient Institution field]].

** for places where we collect: <site>_Med, <site>_CC, STB_ICCS, STB_ACCU
** for wards where we don't collect: <site>_Ward
{{Ex |
*HSC MICU --- family medicine ward at the Vic --- HSC_ER --- STB_ER --- cath lab --- HSC_MICU.
**Code the Pre-admit Inpatient Institution field as: VIC_Ward}}

for example if they came from home or a clinic. The ER (at your site or elsewhere) is '''not''' an inpatient location, so enter "not applicablefor these
If you know how we code the location exactly, you can type it. Otherwise press the "?" button to take you to the [[S dispo chooser‎]] to help filter options if desired.
 
Example:
*VIC_ICU---family medicine ward at the Vic---HSC_ER---STB_ER---cath lab---HSC_MICU.

Example: Pt was on a ward as an inpatient then went to ICU, then was transferred to the ward you are collecting on. Previous location would be ICU and previous inpatient institution would also be ICU.
