Level of care hierarchy: Difference between revisions

**WRHA HOB Medicine ward (examples: [[HSC_HOBS]], [[STB_IMCU]] as of 2020-10)

**WRHA regular Medicine ward (CTU or NTU)

**WRHA non-Medicine (e.g. surgery, family med, OB, etc) AND lower acuity ward in acute care hospital, whatever flavour of the month word they use for this, incl. rehab, geri-rehab, palliative care unit, etc

**WRHA non-Medicine (e.g. surgery, family med, OB, etc) AND lower acuity ward in acute care hospital, whatever flavour of the month word they use for this, incl. rehab, geri-rehab, palliative care unit, etc -- to be clear here, we DO consider these locations "lower" levels than are Medicine wards, and the reason is that a major purpose of the levels is to be able to count up "wasted" bed-days. But of course the care provided in these other locations are not ''truly'' lower levels.
