Dispo field
This field is currently being implemented, please check the instructions and put a discussion for anything that isn't clear.
The Dispo field contains information about what happens to the patient at the end of their admission.
Collection Instruction
For each patient,
- enter the location that most closely matches
- consider bed borrows
Alternatively,
- for patients who expire, one of
- "Died - Organ_Donor"
- "Died - NOT Organ Donor"
- for patients who leave against medical advice, enter "AMA (left against medical advice)" (type "AMA" to open up drop down where you want it)
If you know the location exactly, you can type it. Otherwise press the "?" button to take you to the S dispo chooser to help filter options if desired.
For wards where we don't collect, enter e.g. HSC_ward. For wards where we do collect enter the actual ward as available in the dropdown.
- Question: if the tissue bank takes skin post mortem do you want us to put "organ donor" or not?--LKolesar 13:44, 2016 June 13 (CDT)
- According to the Organ_Donor article, we would not include donation of just eyes, skin or bones. To stay consistent with that, I would suggest we not code skin. Ttenbergen 09:56, 2016 June 16 (CDT)
Data Use
- Mortality Rate
- Intra or Inter Transfer Rate
- Discharges out of hospital
- Organ donor rate
- AMA Rate
- Linking admissions
Template:CCMDB Data Integrity Checks
- Can not be blank
- location_NE_dispo() - Service/Location field can't be same as Dispo field
Following might still need to be implemented:
- Check organ donors must be dead - this is a dx cross check - can it wait for ICD10? Template:ICD10 Actually, I don't think this dx will be available in ICD10, since it's not a diagnosis. So, likely it will only be coded in dispo field once ICD10 is in place, at which point this comment could go. Ttenbergen 09:56, 2016 June 16 (CDT)
Implementation
The field is populated with options from the s_dispo table.
