Hospice

Hospices are palliative/end-of-life care facilities, relevant to the program as admit/discharge locations

If a patient is admitted from or discharged to a hospice, code this as

• admit from / discharge to : Hospice Care Center (ZH)
• var 1/2:
  • GH - Grace Hospice
  • JH - Jocelyn House
  • BH - Brummitt-Feasby ALS House
    • Question I have a patient discharge to Grace Hospice from Victoria ward so I code ZH as my discharge to location but the laptop wont let me put GH in var2 due to it states "must be local" so shouldnt GH JH BH be added to the location discharge to site ? so you can capture which hospice the pt goes to unless you are not collecting that specific type of detailed information.
