Additional Info
- This code includes:
- Those who have been panelled and are waiting to go to a Personal Care Home, Chronic Health Facility or other long-term care medical facility.
- Those living in Supportive Housing or Assisted Living.
- Regarding "Group Homes" -- these are a mixed bag of chronic care (e.g. development delays) and acute or subacute care (e.g. domestic abuse survivors, pregnant teen mothers). Thus whether waiting for one of THEM qualifies as Awaiting/delayed transfer to long-term care/PCH vs. Awaiting/delayed transfer to home should be determined by the nature of the reason for being in the group home.
Guidelines for the use of "awaiting" codes
How much of a delay is required before we code "awaiting"?
Code awaiting if Dispo DtTm is not on the same calendar day as the Transfer Ready date and time. We realize this is different from Transfer Delay. For example, if patient was transfer ready on Tuesday, but left on Wednesday or thereafter, use one of the codes in Category:Awaiting/delayed transfer.
status changes and is no longer awaiting
If the transfer is cancelled do NOT remove the "awaiting" code.
status changes and is awaiting different destination
If during the wait to leave, the location to which the planned transfer changes, then add the additional Awaiting code, thus can have >1 Awaiting code in this situation.
Patient arrives on unit already awaiting care
For patients who arrive "transfer ready" (usually to a low acuity ward), use one of the "awaiting" codes as primary if there are no active medical problems. If the patient is still actively being treated for something, make that diagnosis primary and the "awaiting" code a lower priority.
Possible reasons for delay that we can actually code
- Palliative care
- Respite care
- Homelessness
- Problem related to unspecified psychosocial circumstances
- Medical Assistance In Dying
