Chronic Health Facility
General Information for the Chronic Health Facility entry in Pre acute living situation field.
Use the "chronic health" entry for patients coming from any part of
- Deer Lodge
- St. Amant
- Riverview
- any hospice, though these should obviously be rare
- Selkirk Mental Health Centre
We are aware that these sites also have e.g. PCH beds, but for clarity, just collect anyone from these sites as chronic health.
Living in a PCH is relevant to generating the Overstay colour.
- The data so far are not consistent – some refer to Riverview as PCH and some has Chronic Health Facility in Pre acute living situation field.
- are collectors all following the guideline above?
- When patients come from these facilities – Riverview, Deer Lodge, St Amant – is it easy to distinguish which care program area they are from (e.g. Riverview Personal Care, CVA/Stroke, Long Term Vent, Palliative,etc.; Deer Lodge Chronic Care/ Dementia, Personal Care, Peritoneal Dialysis, etc.) ?
