* [[Task Team Meeting - Rolling Agenda and Minutes 2025#ICU Database Task Group Meeting – November 27, 2025 | Task 2025-11-27]] - mention how [[Project NonTradLoc]] as part of work on [[Collection of locations on the spectrum between home and PCH]] will help {{PAGENAME}} | |||
* 2025-11-17 - start of [[Project NonTradLoc]] as part of work on [[Collection of locations on the spectrum between home and PCH]], we identified it will shed light on houselessness as well | |||
* was on Task agenda for some time but didn't get addressed further | |||
* 2025-06-26 - Meeting: Houselessness data definition | |||
** discussed need to capture those who become homeless around admission, possibly admitted because current home can no longer handle them, leaving them effectively homeless | |||
** all the ALC component collected, incl homelessness, can be coded as an ICD10, which would make them easy to include in our collection, see [https://ccmdb.kuality.ca/images/e/ea/GRA_ALC_Form.pdf GGH ALC form] | |||
* 2025-06-12 - Meeting: Houselessness data definition | |||
** meeting resulted in a [https://sharedhealthmb-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/ttenbergen_hsc_mb_ca/ES_1j2-KRxVDuLn6rYJMIvABIP9aa0uPT_exzDaLjtSFgQ?e=CY13P8 spreadsheet] of homelessness factors and details | |||
* 2025-06-06 - Meeting: Houselessness | |||
** discussed different states of houselessness, incl becoming homeless while in hospital; we won't be able to collect that without [[cc:Homelessness]] dx that can be an [[Acquired Diagnosis]] | |||
** coded as ALC by Utilization only, and only 24hrs after pt medically ready for discharge; elsewhere anyone could flag it but at HSC it needs to be Utilization | |||
* 2025-05-26 - Meeting: Houselessness DR AG | |||
** Allan doesn't want to code [[cc:Homelessness]] dx as [[Acquired Diagnosis]], feels strongly about this | |||
** strong incentive for people to provide [[Postal Code]] so our instruction to code as NA may not be a useful indicator | |||
