Visits to temporary locations: Difference between revisions

Line 6:

*#The patient does not return to the sending unit '''but survives''' it and goes elsewhere after the procedure: Here the [[Dispo]] for the sending site is the temporary location (or possibly '''"Other Procedure Location"''') (and the [[Dispo DtTm]] is when the patient actually left the sending unit in contrast to what EPR might say ) and things that happened in that temporary location are NOT included in the record of the sending site; also enter [[BedHeldEnd DtTm]]

*#The '''patient dies''' in the temporary site. In this case the [[Dispo]] of the sending site is the death (and the [[Dispo DtTm]] is as usual for '''[[Deceased patients]]''') and you should code the other diagnoses or procedures that occurred in the temporary site; also enter [[BedHeldEnd DtTm]]

{{DiscussTask| The instructions for a death that occurs in a temporary location are not clear. As per above we are to code the dispo as died, so there wouldn't be a discharge to a temporary location and therefore no bedheld entry, I have a case of a patient that went to the OR from MICU and died in the OR. should the dispo be to the OR (Temporary location) or should it be the death date and time?

== temporary locations between initial ER and first admission to one of our units ==

* A few [[Boarding Loc]] entries have shown up for the Cath Lab. They probably should not have been entered at all, but they raised the question of how to calculate [[ER Delay]] when this happens. See [[ER_Delay#ER_Delay_when_there_are_Visits_to_temporary_locations_between_initial_ER_and_first_unit]] for more.
