	This is not live yet, start date not set, just keeping notes here for now. Tentative start date: 2025-11-17; tentative stop date: 2026-01-17 What is included within the period Nov 17,2025 to Jan 17, 2026? - admissions starting Nov 17? or discharges starting Nov 17? or all profiles still in the laptop (complete/incomplete) as of Nov 17? By the end of two months - how to know when to report since each DC has different pacing when entering/completing profiles? Do we care about the criteria for inclusion within the cut-off dates or we care more on collecting these cases as many as we can so we can make decision on the change from our current groupings ? Do we want to summarize/report this based on a structure time frame (e.g. admission dates or discharge dates or none)? --JMojica 16:14, 12 November 2025 (CST)

Collection of data to help decision of how we will improve Collection of locations on the spectrum between home and PCH.

We know that there are Dispo locations that are sort of between what we traditionally think of as "home" and "regular PCH" like settings, but we don't know how frequently patients are being discharged to them, and what options there are. To get a better idea, we will collect data about these non-traditional locations (NonTradLoc) for 2 months. Include the variations of homelessness and shelter-like accommodations or couch surfing etc.

Data Collection

Enter this data for any patient being admitted from or being discharged to a location that you would think of as "not quite home and not quite PCH".

Data Entry Instructions

Project: NonTradLoc with one of
Item: "from" or “to”
Comment: Name of the place
- Entry will be free form, can include an address as well as a generic identifier eg, 190 Disraeli (shelter), or Pimicikamak Place, 698 Portage Avenue (AIA- Alternative Integrated accomodation) Other examples to include:
  - main street project
  - salvation army
  - Siloam mission
  - Assisted living facilities
  - Rooming house
  - Boarding home
  - Hotel
  - Shelter
- keep in mind that we are trying to better understand what is out there, so if the item is not on the list, but is an odd curve ball that might be relevant to organizing discharge, that might be even more important to include than the items on the list
date, time, Checkbox, Integer, Real: not used

Sources

Any; if you find something in your chart review we want to hear it

Data Use

We will use this data internally to decide if we need to change the grouping within the Dispo or Pre acute living situation fields.

Data Integrity Checks (automatic list)

none found

can't imagine that we will be able to have any since this is optional and free-form
