When Reviewing a chart in MR and you find a COVID positive or COVID suspect patient that occurred BEFORE the new COVID positive/suspect wards were opened, use [[Service Location]] home ward location and use the appropriate [[COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2)]] or [[Observation for suspected infection NOS]] code.
No special rules for COVID, just use the normal [[Admit Diagnosis]] & [[Acquired Diagnosis]] rules.
 
When reviewing a chart in MR and you find a COVID suspect patient on your home ward and the patient is transferred to another location where the diagnosis of COVID positive is made, check the date/time the swab was sent.  If it was sent less than 48 hours after admission code this as an [[Admit Diagnosis]], if the swab was sent greater than 48 hours after admission code this as an [[Acquired Diagnosis]]

* how should this be done now under [[PatientFollow Project]] / [[Boarding Loc]] ? Is it even still applicable? Likely should live under [[Boarding Loc]] instead and just be linked from here? Ttenbergen 12:24, 2020 October 29 (CDT)
** It seems this instruction is more related to differentiating between [[Admit Diagnosis]] & [[Acquired Diagnosis]]. The note about transferring location could be taken out because what we're doing for patient follow will capture the move, but the rest of the instruction still applies I would think.
*** Discussed at AJTT: no special rules for COVID, just use the normal [[Admit Diagnosis]] & [[Acquired Diagnosis]] rules. I still need to integrate this better. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 12:39, 2021 February 22 (CST)
