The list provides a broader description of service and/ location of the patient's Previous Location,Pre-admit Inpatient Institution or Dispo field and found useful when providing reports.
Legacy implementation right in the table

- Thanks for updating the field description. Do we need more info on this, though, e.g. which indicators use this? In which case it should probably be added to the indicators. It almost seems like taking it to a bit of an extreme to document this, but on the other side, it's one of those things that only you know, Julie, so it would be hard to recreate a report and get this right unless it's documented.

- this is meant for integrating where the patients came from or where the patients went in a broader groupings and is useful for filtering the population of interest for database requests or indicators being reported. Commonly combine with the Geog of s_dispo table. Ex. Out of City ER/ward/ICU/PCH, WPG ER/Ward/ICU/PCH, etc. Indicators like Interfacility transfers considers only those discharges to WPG ICU or Medicine Readmission considers those who went to hospice, PCH, ambulatory care of out of WPG/MB/CAN in addition to others. -JMojica 11:08, 2022 June 7 (CDT)
