Off ward field

The Off ward field is set to true if the patient spent any time off ward.

Collection Instructions

The field is located under the Service/Location field.

If the patient spent any time beyond the difference between Accept DtTm and Arrive DtTm off ward, check the "off ward" checkbox.

The Pre-admit Inpatient Institution field, Previous Location field, Service/Location field and Dispo field would all use the Service/Location field, not the off-ward location.

Legacy

We used to collect related information in multiple places. Once we are comfortable with the new dispo fields we want to stop collection of the old fields. The fields are:

• ICU Var 3 - Overflow
• ICU Var 4 - Parked in ER
• ICU Var 5 - Overflow

Old data would be transferred to new fields where the translation is not ambiguous. We can keep a snapshot of Centralized with the data pre-translation in case we ever want to go back to it.
