If a patient overflows into another unit, they are still patient of the unit where they are admitted and in the location on the laptop. Return to the unit is not a transfer. So:


* If a patient comes from arrives on your ward from a bed borrow location, code [[Pre-admit Inpatient Institution field]]/[[Previous Location field]] as the home location, not the bed borrow one.
* If a patient you collect is currently in a borrowed bed somewhere off-ward, collect the [[Service/Location field]] as the home ward.
* If you discharge a patient to a bed borrow location, code [[Dispo field]] as the home location.
