This field is currently being implemented, please check the instructions and put a discussion for anything that isn't clear.
The Previous_Service field contains information about the "originating service" for those patient's who where already in a prior inpatient location before coming to their current service location.
Collection Instruction
For each patient,
- enter the option that most closely matches
- for medicine ward-to-ward moves, code "medicine" as previous service
- for ICU-to-ICU moves, code "Critical Care" if no other specific service is documented
- for pt from ER, code "Emergency Medicine" unless a different service had accepted them and is handing them off to Medicine
- for pt direct from ambulatory care not via ER, code "not applicable"
- if the service is not listed, code "other (known but not on list)"
- in these cases we don't care about the details; if we see too many others we may add additional options in future
From Cardiac Cath Lab
Template:Discussion A patient goes to emergency, then is sent to the cardiac cath lab for an angiogram. What is the previous service. Emergency Medicine or Cardiology? Did we come to a conclusion the last staff meeting?
from OR
If a patient comes from an OR/RR, code the responsible surgical service as previous service.
Nursing Home Wards (HSC/GRA)
We treat patients that went through the HSC/GRA Nursing Home as having been discharged. So, admission from there should be as if admitted from home, so put "not applicable" into the Previous Service field. This does not affect the Visit Admit DtTm field definition - remember, that is defined by EPR entry.
Data Use
Used to be:
- ER_Wait#Reporting_and_Analysis
- Sending service to ICU will be reported to the Critical Care Director.
Template:CCMDB Data Integrity Checks
Can't be empty.
Implementation
The field is populated with options from the s_previous_service table.
Legacy
For medicine this concept is related to ER Wait.
For critical care this concept is related to Service Sending to ICU.
