We use the concept of a level of care hierarchy in the context of Transfer Delays. See Transfer Delay to understand how it is used. Level of care applies to a patient's combination of Boarding Loc item and comment entry (which together define a physical location). Which location has which level of care is stored in the s_level_of_care table.
Levels of Care
The actual levels of care are:
WRHA ICU, same level of care includes: MICU, SICU, CICU, ACCU, CCU
We need a level for PACU/Recovery; with our new scheme, someone could conceptually be ready for a lower level of care than PACU but be stuck there. C I think that level would be same as ICU. Thoughts? Might be a question for Allan. For now I am setting this the PACUs as a level same as ICU; if OK please update this page accordingly, if needs discussion, please make it happen.

We need a level for ER; with our new scheme, someone could conceptually be ready for a lower level of care than ER but be stuck there. Certainly for GRA who uses it for ICU. I think that level would be between ICU and IICU. Thoughts? Might be a question for Allan. For now I am setting this ER as a level between ICU and IICU; if OK please update this page accordingly, if needs discussion, please make it happen. Ttenbergen 19:18, 2020 October 15 (CDT)
