*Since now we have the Dialysis unit as an option for previous location, should we always be using this even if the pt is a ward patient that just happens to be transferred from the dialysis unit to the ICU as the last place they were located having their treatment? I thought that was what was wanted. Just checking because at the team meeting there was some discussion about a pt having gone to dialysis between transfers and that affecting their EPR arrival time on a given ward. This can apply to Previous location and to dispo. If we use the option of Dialysis unit it is still clear that they were a ward patient because you would still enter the ward in the previous inpatient location field. Using dialysis unit as a place would make transfers much more accurate so I think that this would prevent any problem using EPR times regarding transfers when dialysis is done before or after a transfer. Just bringing this up because of the question that was brought up in the team meeting so we can clarify this. Thanks.--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 07:37, 2017 March 13 (CDT) | *Since now we have the Dialysis unit as an option for previous location, should we always be using this even if the pt is a ward patient that just happens to be transferred from the dialysis unit to the ICU as the last place they were located having their treatment?

**Yes the location Dialysis Unit will be used in the Previous Location and Dispo if applicable, similar to 'Cardiac Cath Lab'. If already an inpatient, enter the location in the Pre-admit Inpatient Institution.
