Homeless

A patient's homeless status affects collection of the following fields:

• Pre acute living situation field - has specific entry option for homeless
• Postal_Code_field#Homeless_with_proxy_address
• Previous Location field#Direct Admit Scenarios
• Dispo field#Homeless patients

Province - That definition doesn't make it clear to me whether the entry should be "NK Not Known / Not available" or "MB" - can we clarify that? Ttenbergen 00:17, 12 July 2025 (CDT)

We also had an ICD10 diagnosis to capture homelessness ( Homelessness () ), but retired it August 28, 2019 Task meeting

CIHI has a document about coding homelessness; link is included here only as supplemental, use the definitions on the wiki rather than these unless we adopt them specifically.
