Transfer for bed management: Difference between revisions

Line 12:

== Additional Info ==

* This is to identify service transfers for bed management (e.g. to clear a bed from the sending unit so it can admit a patient) -- as opposed to transfer for medical reasons (e.g. patient transferred from Grace ICU to HSC MICU for dialysis)

* With just one exception, this code should ONLY be used if the patient is transferred from one service on which we collect, to another service on which we collect, both at the same level (e.g. ICU-ICU, or ward-ward)

* '''With just one exception''', this code should ONLY be used if the patient is transferred from one service on which we collect, to another service on which we collect, both at the same level (e.g. ICU-ICU, or ward-ward)

**The exception is transfers FROM ward TO low Acuity Units (LAU) and similar location types. (Note: this is in relation to a bed management project being done by Dan and Tina). But only use this if the patient actually goes to LAU, i.e. not if patient is on the list for LAU transfer, but ends up being discharged from hospital before transfer occurs.

**So, it should NOT be used when a patient goes: ICU service to ward service; Ward service to ICU service; ED on ED service to anywhere
