this ward has a special case as part of Definition of a Medicine Service admission in that it includes patients not followed by the local attending. CMarks 11:57, 2019 January 31 (CST)
Also has stable acute care medicine patients - if they become unstable usually they are transferred back to their original wards (A4, D4 or H4)or to High Obs unit or MICU if required.
For patients who arrive "transfer ready" to D5, use one of the "awaiting" codes as primary if there are no active medical problems (Ex. Awaiting/delayed transfer to long-term care/PCH.) If the patient is still actively being treated for something, make that diagnosis primary and the "awaiting" code second.--Jvelasco 15:04, 2019 June 27 (CDT)
