Dispo field

This field is currently being implemented, please check the instructions and put a discussion for anything that isn't clear. 

The Dispo field contains information about what happens to the patient at the end of their admission.

Collection Instruction

For each patient,

• enter the location that most closely matches

Alternatively,

• for patients who expire, one of
  • "Died - Organ Donor"
  • "Died - NOT Organ Donor"
• for patients who leave against medical advice, enter "Left AMA"

If you know the location exactly, you can type it. Otherwise press the "magic wand" button to take you to the S dispo chooser‎ to help filter options if desired.

order of dropdowns

• Please consider for drop-down fields some organized A to Z or site compression then alphabetized...the lists are just a jumble and too laborious scrolling --Llemoine 12:45, 2016 March 23 (CDT)
  • I have made them alphabetical. Please keep in mind, though: the magic wand button will give you better search parameters, and if you know verbatim the content you need you can type and it should auto-complete. - Ttenbergen 14:16, 2016 March 24 (CDT)

responsibility to fill in

• Who is responsible for filling in the dispo fields? If patient has been transferred around the site/s do we need to address all or just immediate prior? --Llemoine 12:45, 2016 March 23 (CDT)
  • I think this will need to be filled in properly everywhere. We would not necessarily link patient stays together if there is a question for records, we only do it if a whole stay is required. This is probably something we should tweak further and see what Julie thinks as well. - Ttenbergen 14:16, 2016 March 24 (CDT)

values not being accepted

• Some of drop down site locations aren't being accepted into field as error code pops up and declares too much text --Llemoine 12:45, 2016 March 23 (CDT)
  • Can you give an example? I have not got any errors like that in my testing. Which field is this? Ttenbergen 14:16, 2016 March 24 (CDT)
