*currently discharges to and admissions from Grace Nursing Home are treated as new admissions (with the exception of the Discharge Screening Tool which is labelled 'transferred form').  Technically, though, this is an interhospital transfer, and the hospital treats it as a continuous admission.  Will this require a previous Inpatient Institution entry? And will the visit admission date then be the original admission date, or the date transferred from one ward to the other? [[User:SCortilet|SCortilet]]

** We treat these nursing home wards as inpatient locations for at least some scenarios, so we will treat them as inpatient locations for this. So, code e.g. Grace Nursing Home as [[Previous Location field]] and code Grace Ward (or e.g. VIC_S5 if known) as [[Pre-admit Inpatient Institution field]].
