HSC CAU Details

• Name change from CCDU to CAU: 2017-Oct-03
• Physical Location: GB-2
  • Location change date: 2018-Apr-18

    • Physical location change to WRS2 April 6, 2020 during the Covid 19 pandemic. It is a mixed unit with some medicine contingency beds (formerly B2B) On EPR they are all listed under WRS2, look at service to decipher which are CAU patients and which are medicine contingency patients Lisa Kaita 22:01, 2020 April 8 (CDT)

Should we be adding a second Boarding Loc (another generic HSC-boarding) to indicate the date and time of the move to WRS2? This is what I have been doing... Mlagadi 08:54, 2020 April 14 (CDT) Sounds right to me. Will flag for Julie. Agree. if there are in between boarding location, it has to be added. The purpose is for me to be able to sum up the partial stays where the patient was during the whole stay and must equal the length of stay (calculated as Dispo Dttm - Admit Dttm) .--JMojica 09:26, 2020 April 15 (CDT) Do you mean we need to add a dropdown entry for the project, or that it needs to be entered as boarding, possibly with a comment for the location? Ttenbergen 11:09, 2020 April 15 (CDT) Let me clarify - if there are two consecutive boarding locations, just have one entry generic HSC-boarding with the first date and add in the comment the 2 locations. If the patient go to the homeward, the second entry is the home ward and the date. If did not, then only one entry generic HSC-boarding. This will already meet the purpose. If already done, just keep them and I can still work on it. --JMojica 11:28, 2020 April 15 (CDT)

CBA

• CBA (Central Bed Access)(VIC) taking mostly from Grace ER to decant as they are still under renos.--Llemoine 07:45, 2018 March 28 (CDT)
• CBA = Central Bed Access It is a list from Grace/ HSC/ STB which identifies patients who require a Subacute bed. They call the Winnipeg Regional Health Team CBA = 204-791-8599 which will generate a list where these Subacute patients can be sent to. However Vic is the only hospital to have subacute wards however the plan is to have subacute beds at 7Oaks and Concordia available in the future.

There is info about "CBA (Central Bed Access)" on this page - why? Are these subacute wards at the VIC ie Transitional Care? Do we need to know more about the CBA designation or process, should it affect our reporting?
