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.) ? --JMojica 11:34, 2018 January 12 (CST)
- I think I may have been putting personal care home when they come from that area of Deer Lodge or Riverview, but otherwise chronic health care facility. Each patient is sent with a transfer form/summary to the receiving facility and it usually identifies where they are from, also the history and physicals usually identify where they are from as well. I'm uncertain if you can identify by EPR, you may need to be familar with their wards/facility to know for certain. Lisa Kaita 13:08, 2018 January 12 (CST)
