Paneling

Paneling is the process of getting permission to send a patient to PCH (roughly speaking).

The concept is relevant because the process causes delays in discharging patients who are otherwise medically ready for discharge (e.g. have a Transfer Ready DtTm).

We don't collect paneling directly, but we do collect some adjacent points we have used to tag patients being paneled in our data.

• Pre acute living situation.loc_type != PCH S pre acute living situation table and Dispo.S dispo.loc type = "PCH"
• Awaiting/delayed transfer to long-term care/PCH inside or outside of Winnipeg
