Service/Location field

This field is currently being implemented, please check the instructions and put a discussion for anything that isn't clear. 

Collection location a patient is admitted to, very similar to current "Location" field. This will be a dropdown that allows an appropriate subset of the contents of s_dispo. Template:Discussion

• why is the field call SERVICE LOCATION rather than LOCATION. adds to the confusion. Is there a point to include addition word Service to location. There really is not such thing as a Service Location.
  • Suggestion, just call the field LOCATION as it was called before. Less confusion.

Patients boarding on other wards or units are coded as the home unit. Collectors can use "record" field for tracking actual location.

Collection Instruction

essentially like Location is done now

If you know the location exactly, you can type it. Otherwise press the "magic wand" button to take you to the S dispo chooser‎ to help filter options if desired.

Questions

additional locations required?
