*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)

**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]]. [[User:JMojica|JMojica]] 13:47, 2017 March 14 (CDT)

***This is not presently an option at HSC-with medicine transfers-the transferring ward /medicine group continues to manage patient until they arrive on the next unit-then orders etc are processed and admission is completed.Our arrival to ward time then becomes our coordinated transfer time/s.--[[User:Llemoine|Llemoine]] 08:02, 2017 March 15 (CDT)
