Pre-admit Inpatient Institution field

Revision as of 11:04, 31 March 2016 by Ttenbergen (talk | contribs) (→Collection Instruction: don't enter if previous location is not temporary)
This field is currently being implemented, please check the instructions and put a discussion for anything that isn't clear.

The Pre-admit Inpatient Institution field identifies the previous inpatient location of patients who were already inpatients elsewhere before coming to our unit from a temporary location. This does not include patients who just arrived at an ER elsewhere and were not admitted as inpatient there.

Collection Instruction

If the Previous Location field does not contain a "temporary" location, leave this field blank.

If the Previous Location field contains a "temporary" location like an ER, OR or Cath Lab you will need to enter this field. In that case, for each patient,

  • enter the option that most closely matches
  • if you know the situation but nothing on the list matches closely, enter other - known but not listed
  • if the situation is unknown, enter location missing/unknown

If you know how we code the location exactly, you can type it. Otherwise press the "magic wand" button to take you to the S dispo chooser‎ to help filter options if desired.

Where to find this information

If patient came from a different Winnipeg hospital this will be recorded in the “Visit History” on the EPR.

Example

  • ICU Vic---family medicine ward at the Vic---ED HSC---ED STB---cath lab---ICU HSC.
    • The PrevInptLocation field is: VIC_Ward

Data Use / Purpose

To document where those patients who were inpatients immediately before arriving on our ward/unit came from.

The detailed information will allow us also to distinguish between patients who were or were not inpatients before arrival. This is relevant to a patient's risk of bad outcomes.

The information will also give our administrators a better idea of which other hospitals are sending us patients, which they will use for planning.
