Pre acute living situation field

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

Applicable for both ICU and Medicine

The pre_acute_living_situation field contains info about the living situation of the patient prior to the current hospitalization.

Collection Instruction

For each patient,

• enter the option that most closely matches
• if you know the situation but nothing on the list matches closely, enter 'other - known but not listed
• if the situation is unknown, enter location missing/unknown

Chronic Health Facility

Use the "chronic health" entry for patients coming from any part of

• Deer Lodge
• St. Amant
• Riverview
• any hospice, though these should obviously be rare

We are aware that these sites also have e.g. PCH beds, but for clarity, just collect anyone from these sites as chronic health.

Data Use

This was collected as part of Overstay_Predictor_Project_Collection_Instructions#.22From.22_Data previously and will be reported the same way going forward.

Some of the concepts were broken down further, such as homeless or institutionalized status, since these questions keep coming up.

Implementation

The field is populated with options from the s_pre_acute_living_situation table.

Legacy

This field is part of the 2016 Time and Place changes.

For medicine this concept is related to Overstay "from" data.

For critical care this concept did not get collected prior to the 2016 Time and Place changes.
