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.

Questions

ICU Accept time

• For the ICU we do not have an accept time so what do we do with this field? Lois
  • You do have an ICU accept time, just most of the time it's the same as the arrive time. I have added a button to just populate it. Ttenbergen 15:49, 2016 April 13 (CDT)

generic PCHs

• Unable to access Peguis PCH or any generic PCH, tried using magic wand but did not work.--CMarks 09:52, 2016 April 13 (CDT)
  • Yes, we need to figure out how to code the WPG generic and out of town PCHs; emailed Trish to discuss. Ttenbergen 15:49, 2016 April 13 (CDT)

missing Var1/2 equivalents

• is dispo field replaces Discharge to and Var 2, why are there wards missing, example HSC RR6, HSC surgical wards?
• Not all the wards for St.B are listed ie. I send most of my patients to CR4 which is not on the list. Lois
  • see discussion at Var_1_-_Admit-from_Ward#Wards_where_we_don.27t_collect Ttenbergen 15:35, 2016 April 13 (CDT)

missing USA?

• missing from list is ADMIT From or discharge USA. USA is not Other Continent
  • USA is on list and can be filtered as out of country; If you can still not see it please let me know how you are going about looking for it. If you can see it now, pls delete. Ttenbergen 15:35, 2016 April 13 (CDT)

missing other items from dispo list

• Yesterday , I had a pt. discharged to a nursing home in Winnipeg. Unless I’m just not seeing it, we do not have:
  • Winnipeg/Manitoba PCH in the list. Can you advise please?-Elaine Nagy. 2016_Apr_13.

There is:

• Grace nursing home
• HSC nursing home
• all other provinces’ PCH,
• USA PCH, other continent PCH

why not combine fields at dispo?

• I know we are trying to combine Admit from, Var 1 and Hospital previous, so why not at discharge, if to other city or province, why not include specifically where if we know?
  • should be able to enter that into dispo field, what are you searching for that you can't find? Ttenbergen 15:35, 2016 April 13 (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)
