 *If any answer is no include a tmp entry indicating where the patient lives. This information can be found on the form as answer number 1 under the '''General Information''' ''Living Arrangements?''. The purpose is to exclude patients currently living in a personal care home from being assigned a transition coordinator since these patients infrequently overstay.
-** {{discussion}} further down it said: "For each patient, add a "From..." entry into the Tmp table, e.g. "From Personal Care Home" or "From Home". Patients admitted from a personal care home can not become "red", but at most "yellow"." '''Is this required only for the patients flagged positive by the nurse tool? I'd have thought we wanted it anyway to be able to evaluate if excluding these people from discharge coordination is valid. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 13:46, 2012 September 13 (CDT). My understanding is that if a patient answers yes to the six questions they would not be coming from an alternative care arrangement. We currently instruct the nurses not to complete any more of the form if the top six questions are answered '''yes''', mainly to save time. This process does not assume the patients could be misleading enough to have the nurse check ''yes'' to the six questions even though the patient is in an alternative care arrangement. I will verify with the nursing members on the committee if we should be collecting living arrangement for all cases. Please remove this comment once reviewed. Please remove comment once reviewed I will update the process if it changes.[[User:LHathout|LHathout]]

 Question 4 consists of several sub-questions re. the patient's inability to manage daily activities. If even one of the activities raises a concern then summary answer for the question needs to be "'''no'''".
