  • if a name changed we retained the original one and changed new encounters of the patient to the old one.
  • for first names we decided not to use hyphens if there was more than one, and to preferably only have one first name used
  • last names that use two names were hyphenated

The patient's PHIN .

  • SMW

Legacy implementation right in the table

  • Cargo


  • Categories
  • Forms


The PHIN (Personal Health Information number) is a unique nine-digit numeric identifier assigned by Manitoba Health to every person registered for health insurance in Manitoba. For patients who are not registered with Manitoba Health we assign a Pseudo PHIN.

MB Health PHINs only

Manitoba Health PHIN numbers only.

If patient permanently resides outside of the province of Manitoba the Province field should not be MB and the PHIN field should be left blank.

Please make every effort to obtain this information and call medical records to help.

Possibility of adding other Province's PHINs

old discussion, result: not at this time   
  • With Cognos EPR Report we now get PHINs from out of province with province prefix; do we want to start collecting these for out-of-province patients for cleaner matching, and to enable better matching for external users of our data such as MCHP?
    • sure. will this affect any of the query? the data type will become text if you will add the province prefix. --JMojica 19:03, 2020 April 5 (CDT)
      • We could just import the PHIN without the prefix, the fact it's a different province already shows. However, it would have a trickle-down effect of having to fix old pseudo-PHINs, and of having to update code that links patients across admissions, and likely more. So, let's leave it for now. Ttenbergen 09:21, 2020 June 3 (CDT)
  • Cognos EPR Report does not provide data on a given line about where a pt was in a previous hospital. If the pt was a med or CC pt at that previous hospital in the previous 2 weeks, we would have rows for him from the other location. However, because we use PseudoPhins for many pts, I currently use the chart number for matching lines to a same patient, so records from other sites don't show up. Pro: there is no clutter of irrelevant info from other sites; Con: Even if data would be available for pts status at other site, I am hiding it. Starting to collect PHIN for all would help this for OOP pts, but would still not address it for legit-no-PHIN pts.

Special Cases

Location Manitoba and no PHIN

There are scenarios where a PHIN will not be available for a Manitoba patient, including but not limited to

  • immigrants and international students on visas
  • some prison inmates

In these and similar cases, use 999999999 as the PHIN. The data processor will assign a Pseudo PHIN.

International Students

Profiles of international students may or may not have a PHIN. At some point, students have at times been covered[1], then been required to get a specific U of M insurance[2], and as of 2021-07 appear to have some choice of how they insure, although insurance is mandatory [3]archive.

Location Outside Manitoba and no PHIN

PHIN must be entered by data collector as blank. A Pseudo PHIN will be entered by the data processor after file is appended to master database.

Canadian Forces patients

see Canadian Forces patients.

PseudoPHIN

Since the PHIN is used as a unique identifier for patients to detect repeat and continuous visits, a "pseudoPHIN" is assigned for patients who don't have a PHIN. At this point, pseudoPHINS are assigned by Pagasa, see see Generating PseudoPHINs.

Use started in 1999 and starts in '1' and as of Mar 18, 2013 our last Pseudo number was 7043.

We observed that there was a drop in the number of PseudoPHINs during the part of COVID. We confirmed that fewer out-of-province patients would have been accepted during this time, so that change is legitimate.

Multiple PHINs or PHIN changes over time

People may change PHINs over time or have multiple PHINs. This can occur in 3 main ways:

  • moving from OOP to MB,
  • moving from MB to OOP, and
  • a single individual having multiple PHINs (usually somethign went wrong in registration with MB Health)

For the purpose of identifying "same person", and uniformity, we will enter the current/most PHIN or PseudoPHIN into the PHIN field of all encounters of that patient in our database. Earlier PHINs or PseudoPHINs will be retained in Alias ID collection. This may mean that we change an existing PHIN to a PseudoPHIN. This may trigger some errors in our cross checks; if so, appropriate records will be added to the L_Problem table so the error goes away.

The number used by medical records to uniquely identify a patient's chart; it is different for the same patients at different hospitals.

  • SMW

Legacy implementation right in the table

  • Cargo


  • Categories
  • Forms


The number is assigned to a patient by Admitting. This is done once the patient has been seen by Triage in ER or new to the hospital for clinics, testing and various workups. This number remains the patient's chart number for all hospital visits, admissions, tests, etc.

Collection instructions

Leading Zeros

If your chart number system uses leading zeros, don't enter the leading zeros, start with the first non-zero number.

Dashes near the end of the number

EPR sometimes lists something like MRN 123456-1; in that case, we code 1234561, i.e. leave out the dash, but code the trailing number.

Unclear or changing chart numbers

See

Minimal Data Set

This entry is part of the Minimal Data Set. Special collection instructions apply, see that page for more info.

Data Processing

The Centralized_data_front_end.accdb has queries that make sure that the chart number for each Hospital site is the same for the same patient and make sure the chart number has valid format.

The Data Processor fixes any inconsistencies found from these queries by crosschecking from EPR and adds the alias identifier to the tmp project Alias ID collection.

In addition, the Statistician uses SAS to check key identifiers so they are consistent for same patient including Hosp chart etc.

Used by data collectors to keep notes during collection.

The notes field expands to a bigger form when you double-click on it.

Usage of the notes field

The notes field was set up to be a free-for-all where collectors can store any info they want. This resulted in non-standardized collection practices which result in problems during vacation coverage or on shared wards.

Guidelines

  • Please do not write copious history notes from charts into this note section. This is only for reminders or points needed to do your work, dates where you left off at or any follow up of info, test etc., that need to be done by yourself or for others who help collect on your laptop. Notes have to be clear to others.

Patients being sent

  • For patients you are ready to send, make sure you note explanations for data values that you think might cause call-backs from the Data Processor or Statistician. For example:
  • Extreme data that was confirmed as correct:
  • Upon review of the Notes field, and prior to sending, please delete any data that would not be used to clarify extreme data or outliers. The main office will use this to clarify extreme data, so deleting excess data in this field will help streamline this process for the main office.

Up-to where/when collection is complete

  • STB - where we have left off reading in the EPR notes by entering the date/time last read
  • HSC- where we have left off checking orders, pharm, counting EPR labs, reading notes by entering the date/time last read.

Diagnoses or other data that needs to be reviewed or checked

Can be used to document suspected diagnoses (which would not be coded in ICD10 even for incomplete records, as per ICD10 collection#"Suspected" Diagnoses.

Supplemental data

  • to clearly define some admit diagnoses-the ones that come up as other problems, other problems when you enter them.
    • be aware that 99% diagnosis data analysis in the main office will not look at the notes field, as usually there are just filters or counts on the ICD10 dx entries.
  • to enter info on base creatinine, bmi, or other tidbits of info that are useful to know.
  • to define what exactly needs to be entered, when a profile is only partially completed.

Automatic population of notes field for newly entered patients

We tried to standardize field into a kind of form, but collection practice is too non-standard to come up with a format that worked.   

Just being curious if the notes field is a free space for optional additional info....what specific problems did this cause?

  • I actually prefer a blank notes field. The premise was good but turns out to not be all that helpful.--CMarks 11:53, 2018 December 6 (CST)

Recently a format was implemented and placed into the notes field. We would like to know if this format is helpful and if you use it. Please indicate here if you use it or not and any comments you would like to make regarding this:

  • Laura: I find the guidelines written in this article are sufficient information for the notes field to give tips for usage. If anyone has difficulty when they are covering for someone else, they just need to ask what is meant by specific entries. I would like to speak to anyone who has difficulty. I feel that the notes section is not only used differently for different collectors but also in different scenarios. I like that it allows for individual needs and allows some freedom for any use that each collector may require. The current format is not user friendly and I just wonder who actually is using it. I personally would prefer a blank note field. --LKolesar 07:49, 2018 December 6 (CST)
  • I too, would just prefer a blank note field. As good as the idea for dates and times was, the format just wasn't what I use. DPageNewton 07:57, 2018 December 6 (CST)
    • I do not find this useful or user friendly. I much prefer a blank field so we can enter what we need. Lois
  • I modify the format to suit my needs, so I am not using it as intended. It is less convenient than how I was writing in date and time read up to before the change was made. Good idea, but didn't quite work for me.Mlagadi 08:25, 2018 December 6 (CST)
  • While I appreciate the intent to assist data collectors with collection, I find the current format not helpful. I agree with Laura regarding data collectors having differing needs/preferences, and the best way to accommodate all data collectors would be a blank notes field Pamela Piche 08:45, 2018 December 6 (CST)
  • I prefer a blank note field Lisa Kaita 09:39, 2018 December 6 (CST)
  • I also prefer the note field to be blank. It takes just a few seconds to erase but it's a few seconds I don't have to spare. --mvpenner 10:29, 2018 December 6 (CST)

Collection Instruction

For each patient,

  • enter the option that most closely matches:
  • if the patient is a direct admission use <site>_UC, <Site>_ER, <site>_ward, <site>_Med, <site>_ICU or temporary location depending on the scenario (see direct admit scenarios below)
  • if you know the situation but nothing on the list matches closely, enter other - known but not listed
  • if the situation is unknown, enter Not known
  • if the patient is in ER under a service we do not collect ie. cardiology, surgery etc use <site>_ER

If you know the location exactly, you can type it, otherwise click on the dropdown button to view the options

Where to find this information

If patient came from a different Winnipeg hospital this should be recorded in the “Visit History” on the EPR, but sometimes it is missing. Can also use paper chart sent to your hospital from the sending hospital for information.

Borrowed Bed Or Pt Boarding On Other Unit

  • Use the Boarding Loc of the service taking care of the patient:<site>_Med, GH-CC, HSC_MICU, HSC_SICU, HSC_IICU, STB MICU, STB_ICCS, STB_ACCU.

Direct Admit Scenarios

  • inpatients from CON, OAK, VIC who are direct transfers to HSC/STB/GRA, the Pre-admit Inpatient Institution and Previous Location will be <site>_ward, even if the patient spends time in that site's UC prior to transfer. If not yet an inpatient from CON/OAK/VIC and transfer is from their UC, then previous location is the <site>_UC.
  • For direct transfers from HSC/STB/GRA, if an inpatient, and no in-between temporary location, the Pre-admit Inpatient Institution is the same as Previous Location (e.g. GH_med, or HSC_MICU)
    • if there is a temporary location in-between, then Previous Location is equal to the temporary location (e.g. OR, RR, Cath Lab, Dialysis, IR or Other procedure location) and Pre-admit Inpatient Institution would be the previous <site>_inpatient location
    • If not yet an inpatient from HSC/STB/GRA and coming from <other site> ER then previous location is <other site> ER, and the Pre-admit Inpatient Institution would be not applicable
  • If a homeless patient is admitted directly then code them as admitted from home.
  • If a patient is admitted directly from prison, jail or a correctional institution, code this as an admission from "Institution NOS". See Prison / Jail / Correctional Institution for additional info.

Exceptions

  • We have a few units in the Region that have a mix of different services (internal medicine, surgical, family medicine etc). For patients from these units:
    • If patient was under internal medicine service, enter <site>_Med
    • If not under internal medicine service, enter the <site>_Ward
  • for Riverview and Deer Lodge Chronic Health Facility see Pre-admit Inpatient Institution field for the various wards that are considered an inpatient location
  • patients from POU (psych evaluation unit @ HSC) as "HSC ambulatory care" - This is not an inpatient ward.
  • patients admitted from day surgery units, enter <site>_Ward, e.g. HSC Ward (this is not considered to be an inpatient location) see Pre-admit Inpatient Institution field

Temporary locations

"Can we remove the items that are no longer Service/Locations, Previous Locations, Pre-admit Inpatient Institutions or dispo locations from the dropdowns?"

We can and will remove them, but that can only happen once no more laptops use them. We will need to keep track of this and then remove them when ready. If I removed them now, then any box that currently has them enter would misbehave.

      • if the patient was actually an ED patient (under the care of the ED docs) then code "Emergency Medicine"
      • if, for example, it was a GI endoscopy and the patient was not actually under ED care, but instead was directly admitted to the ED on the Medicine ward service, then the previous service was "Medicine"
  • If the service is not listed, code "other (known but not on list)"
    • in these cases we don't care about the details; if we see too many others we may add additional options in future (as of January 2022 we checked and these account for <1% of all previous services)

From HD / From hemodialysis

From Cardiac Cath Lab

  • A patient goes to emergency, then is sent to the cardiac cath lab for an angiogram. Julie would like the sending service to be Emergency Medicine in these cases (not cardiology). Discussed at the task group meeting on July 20, 2017.
  • Most patients come to CCU or ICU via the heart cath as a code stemi, in which case the previous service is cardiology because they bypass ER and go direct to the heart cath lab.
  • The previous service is who was looking after the pt before the heart cath in some situations. For example, if ECMO is done in the heart cath lab : If the pt was on a ward or unit prior to the procedure, the service is whatever ward or unit it was that sent the pt there. If ER sends a pt for a VV ECMO, the ER is the sending service, unless ICU takes over the pt prior to the ECMO. (They would need to consult cardiac surgery for the ecmo procedure but it would be the ICU that takes over the care ultimately).

This was discussed at the task group meeting on June 21, 2017.

from OR

If a patient comes from an OR/RR, code the responsible surgical service as previous service.

Nursing Home Wards (HSC/GRA)

We treat patients that went through the HSC/GRA Nursing Home as having been discharged. So, admission from there should be as if admitted from home, so put "not applicable" into the Previous Service field. This does not affect the Visit Admit DtTm field definition - remember, that is defined by EPR entry.

Admit from home

For an admission directly from home bypassing the ER enter Previous Service = 'Not applicable'.

from EMIP via ER

The case of VIC ER to STB EMIP to VIC ER to VIC Ward is a bit tricky because STB EMIP signify being an inpatient under Medicine service before going to VIC ER. WIKI defines Previous Service as the "originating service" for those patient's who where already in a prior inpatient location. It would be easier to define the previous service if this is a case of direct transfer to VIC Medicine service and parked only in VIC ER. This is a good question - which to use, Emergency Medicine or Medicine? Since it is known that there is prior inpatient service, I am more on the second one 'Medicine'. This can be a similar case when the previous location is Operating or Recovery and the responsible surgical service is coded as previous service. If coming from home to another ER to own ER to own Ward, then previous service is clearly Emergency medicine.

admission from a unit partly collected by us

see Previous_Location_field#from_a_unit_that_is_partly_collected_by_us.2C_and_partly_not.

admission from a nursing station

  • For a direct admission to a collection unit from nursing stations, put "other (known, but not on list)".
  • If from a nursing station, patient dropped by ER , put "Emergency Medicine".

Direct admit

For a direct admit via the ER, the Previous Service will be the primary service looking after the patient, prior to admission at your facility.

Example:   

testcontent

Urgent Care

For patients directly admitted from urgent care, code previous service as "Emergency Medicine".

Clinical Assessment Units

Specific instructions apply for coding previous service for the specific CAUs. See

Data Use

Sending service to ICU will be reported to the Critical Care Director whose interest is to determine the sending services for patients who where already in a prior inpatient location before coming to ICU (refer to minutes of Task Meeting dated 13 April 2015 and 11June 2015). The data to be reported will be filtered to include only those in-patients prior to ICU.

  • Allan suggested this OFFWARD field for some reasons related to outcome. you are right the tmp Boarding will indicate patients staying in offward locations. Offward started July 2016. CC started tmp Boarding July 2018 while Med on Sept2019. since offward start date was before any of these BL dates, we need to keep those data in prior dates. --JMojica 16:18, 2022 August 12 (CDT)
    • Here is a query with counts by send time:
TRANSFORM Count(L_Log.D_ID) AS CountOfD_ID
SELECT Format([SentDtTm],"yy-mm") AS send_month
FROM L_Log
GROUP BY Format([SentDtTm],"yy-mm")
ORDER BY Format([SentDtTm],"yy-mm"), L_Log.off_ward
PIVOT L_Log.off_ward;
It actually looks like we used this from 2014 onward, even if the data definition on this page says from 2016.

There is a weird spike in Jan 2018, other than that numbers in a similar range between 16-07 and 20-03. So from when until when would we consider this data reliable? We should likely clean up values outside that range so no one thinks records are reliably tagged outside that range. Ttenbergen 11:23, 2022 August 23 (CDT)

    • For the pre2016 profiles, the OFFWARD field is pre-populated by the old VAR3, VAR4,VAR5 (see below) and therefore they are reliable. Actually Var3 to Var5 specify the units they are overflowing (similar with tmp Boarding but only with location and no start dates). If I remember right, when Allan introduced OFFWARD, he was thinking of the specific location but the idea was not received well and so decided just to be binary code YES/NO. For research project needing historical data, I think binary data would still be useful. we can either keep it AS IS or be saved as tmp project. --JMojica 15:38, 2022 August 29 (CDT)



Old instructions

This includes patients who spend part or all of their admission located on an off service ward, but not #EMIPs.

How to enter patient into CCMDB

Collection Instructions - current ward

If the patient meets the definition at the top, check the "off ward" checkbox located underneath the Service/Location field.

Enter the laptop's regular collection location into the Service/Location field, not the off-ward location.

Collection Instructions - next ward (if applicable)

The Pre-admit Inpatient Institution field and Previous Location field of the next encounter would use the Service/Location field of the previous collection location where available, not the off-ward location.

Collection Instructions - previous ward (if applicable)

The Dispo field of the previous encounter would use the Service/Location field of the next collection location where available, not the off-ward location.

Not intended for off-ward tests

see Bed holds

EMIP

EMIPs are in their collection location, e.g. GRA_EMIP, so they are not off ward. Don't check the field.

Parked in ER

Parked in ER is before Arrive DtTm, so they are not "off ward". Don't check the field.

  1. find patients as per off ward field article
  2. Write down a list of these patients with their chart numbers on a paper.
  3. Place this list on the bulletin board in the medicine office so that both medicine data collectors are aware that there are medicine service patients on off-service wards in the hospital.

Entering off ward patients

  • If these patients ultimately get transferred to one of the medicine wards, then the data collector that does that ward will enter those patients on their laptop, reflecting their entire stay from the admission from ER. In the dispo tab the Off ward field must be ticked off as they were off ward for part of their stay.
  • If these patients get discharged from the off service ward to home or out of hospital location, then these are considered Off ward field that must be entered on one of the medicine laptops, because their entire stay was on an off service ward.(There may be individual hospital differences on which laptop is used for these entries).
  • This patient list can be posted on the bulletin board of the medicine office. If they are admitted to one of the medicine wards, then that data collector will cross that person off the list. Once a week check if the pt is still in the hospital, if they have left and were never admitted to one of the medicine wards, then a designated data collector will enter them on her laptop. --LKolesar 12:54, 2017 March 2 (CST)

Patients who are on a off wards for part of their stay only

  • When a pt comes to one of the medicine wards from an off-service ward, the data collector must go to the original presentation of the pt to see if this pt was accepted to medicine on the off-service ward prior to their arrival on their own ward. If you see that the pt was looked after by internal medicine prior to their arrival from the other ward, make sure you start your profile on the original date that medicine accepted them (usually in ER).
  • On occasion, medicine patients are transferred to off service wards, but are still admitted under the internal medicine service. ie. patient transferred from a medical ward to a surgical ward but still are admitted under internal medicine service. The attending may be different than the admitting service but it is still an internal medicine attending. Please continue to follow these patients (new profile is not required) until they are discharged or transferred to an off service ward under family medicine or any other service other than internal med. Please note the location in the RECORD box to indicate where the pt is currently located. --LKolesar 13:05, 2017 March 2 (CST)

How to determine when a patient is no longer under an internal medicine service

In the EPR the patient list will show the "provider" which should identify which service the attending physicians is from. However, because this is not always consistently kept up to date when services change, the following checks can help to determine if a patient remains under internal medicine or switches to another service.

1. In EPR,Check the orders under transfers/care directives, to see if there has been an order to switch from internal medicine to another service. Use the time transferred to the other ward as the discharge time or use the time in the order when the other service took over care if the pt remains on the off-service ward. (orders are currently only available to view at STB).

2. In EPR, go to the patient info tab, select care providers from the left hand column, a list should come up with providers and their discipline with a date. If you see that the most recent attending is no longer an internal medicine physician then there has likely been a change of service. You may be able to confirm this by checking under the documents tab, sort by discipline, and then check the medicine notes that correspond to the date found in the care providers list. The progress notes from different services will be identified as such in the notes section. If you determine that they are in fact now under a new service (with no corresponding order), use the date and time of the attending switch in the care provider list as your discharge date and time.

Bed Borrow

  • When a service borrows a bed in another unit/ward but still follows them the Service Location should be the location where the patient would have been had there been enough beds/space for them. example. ACCU patient, followed by ACCU service but physically located in CICU, service location=ACCU. The Boarding Loc in the Tmp will identify that they are "borrowing" a bed in CICU. If this patient is then transferred to their normal unit, ACCU, add this location as a Boarding Loc in the tmp, this would be a single profile. If the patient was NOT followed by ACCU but by CICU, see ICUotherService for instructions on how to collect.
  • second example- HSC MICU often overflows or borrows a bed in SICU, but MICU follows them, the Service/Location would be HSC MICU, the Boarding Loc would reflect the real physical location HSC SICU, and the Service tmp entry should be HSC Critical Care Medicine. If the patient is later transferred to HSC MICU, this location would be added as a Boarding Loc, this would remain a single profile. However, iF the Service changes to an SICU service and they take over care, then a new profile would be started showing the new Service Location and the new Service tmp entry and Boarding Loc

Retiring an available Service/Location field entry

Sometimes a ward may close or change names, or we may stop collecting somewhere. In that case, an entry for Service/Location needs to be made unavailable by editing the s_locations_allowed_collection table.

If a location is no longer available on a laptop records with that location can't be set to "complete". So, if we transition from one location to a new one, we need to get collectors to change the locations for all existing records to the new one, and change the number to using the new number series. Another option might be to keep old location available, at risk of manual mistakes and continuing to use the old location, and of location-number Pool mix-ups. Either way, needs to be planned.

Legacy

This field is subject to Change from Service Location to Service, Boarding Loc and Transfer Ready DtTm tmp entry. However, we still need it because of how we decided to collect patients at HSC and STB CC.

If you discharge a patient to the ER or Urgent Care, you can't enter this in the dispo field. The reason is that this should not happen. If it really does happen:

  • email Pagasa so she can enter your ER / Urgent Care location as dispo.

The field it is automatically populated from Cognos EPR Report. For reference only, it contains the first entry in the visit location history in EPR for current visit at a hospital site.

Purpose

The field is used as an identifier of a hospital encounter at your site. The info is used to:

  • link together ICU and Ward admissions during the same hospital visit
  • uniquely identify patient visits to Manitoba Health when we exchange data with them

We obtain this item from the ADT system (via Cognos) and it does not always accurately identify the timing of hospital admission. THUS, we are only using it as an identifier to link.

  • The Statistician must not give this field to anyone requesting data from the database to avoid being misused.

Collection Instruction

If a patient needs to be entered other than through Cognos   
  • In EPR find Patient
  • Under Patient Info tab
  • in the Summary Views on the left, click on Visit History
  • find the earliest entry of an Inpatient Type for your current hospital admission
  • enter the Admit/Reg date/time from the first column as your Visit Admit DtTm field in CCMDB.accdb
    • for this field, you must use the date/time in the EPR, and not from patient chart notes.

Important NOTE: All collector must look exactly in the same place in the EPR to get this information as indicated in the instructions above. EPR lists the time the pt became an inpatient as this time.

What is Transfer Ready

  • The status of "transfer ready" is about the date/time of an intent to transfer a patient to lower level of care in the Level of care hierarchy if there was a bed available. Whether or not the patient actually moves does not matter, just that at some point there was an intent to move the pt. It also does not matter whether after such a determination the care team changed their minds about such a desired transfer.
  • Obviously we don't always know the team's intentions, but if they do write them down, then use that info.
    • In making this delineation, except as for the exceptions listed immediately below, only consider a clearly written intent that the team now desires the patient to be transferred to such a lower level of care.
      • In particular, when a ward patient is transferred (e.g. home) without any notes stating the team’s intention to do so in advance or even an order to discharge, collectors should not attempt to make educated guesses from the notes of when the patient was probably clinically ready to leave and the checkbox is checked.

See Level of care hierarchy for further information.

Specifically for ICU

In an ICU, take the following to indicate transfer ready to a lower level of care even if they have not written that explicitly:

  • Care is stepped down to ward frequency (q4hrs or less) of vitals AND off all forms of life support except possibly intermittent dialysis
  • HSC_IICU consult is written
  • patient is made ACP-C
  • for organ donors, see Guideline for coding organ donation after death
  • if the patient is a potential organ donor and then deemed not to be, the Transfer Ready tmp DtTm will be when that determination is made
  • for those patients who are declared brain dead, and do not become actual or potential organ donors, use the time of Brain death as the Transfer Ready DtTm tmp entry, and the time of cardiac death as the Dispo DtTm

Specifically for Medicine

On a medicine ward, take the following to indicate transfer ready to a lower level of care even if they have not written that explicitly:

  • For SBGH If there is no discharge order, then the DC summary date/time that the attending signs off can be used, however if the date and time is after the DC time then it may be documented in a nursing or allied health IPN. Also, for SBGH often bed utilization will document when they are waiting on a transfer to an LAU or other facility, or rehab services will document when they are on the central wait list, or long term care (LTC) will document when they are approved for a PCH bed.
  • For HSC if there is no discharge order, then check the IPN notes (nursing, allied health etc), often bed utilization will document when they are waiting on a transfer to an LAU or other facility, or rehab services will document when they are on the central wait list, or long term care (LTC) will document when they are approved for a PCH bed.
  • Order is written to change all iv meds to po AND monitor discontinued/vital sign frequency is reduced
  • Patient is made ACP-C
  • If a discharge order is written during the preceding day(s) prior to discharge:
    • and a specific date and time for discharge is documented in that order, the transfer ready date and time would be the date and time specified in the order.
    • and If the order is to discharge after a specific test or procedure/treatment ie. dialysis or last dose of antibiotics, then the transfer ready date and time would be the time they finish the treatment or procedure.
    • and there is no specific date and time documented for discharge or another order for discharge is written, then check the checkbox or use that new discharge order date and time
  • The discharge medication reconciliation form should NOT be used as transfer ready date and time.
  • PT/OT Assessment: Before going home, some ward patients get a home safety evaluation from PT and OT, and if deemed safe for home get a homecare evaluation before going home. The transfer ready date/time in such a situation should be only after the PT/OT evaluation has deemed them safe to go home, i.e. before homecare has seen them. The rationale is that homecare evaluation can occur after discharge, but a hospitalized patient who “fails” their home safety evaluation will end up going to LTC, not home.
  • exception to this would be for those patients that are waiting for transfer to a rehab ward (Geri, stroke, amp, neuro etc) The date and time they are placed on the wait list for rehab can be used as their transfer ready date and time

Data entry instructions

  • A "Transfer Ready" line is automatically created for each Boarding Loc entry.
    • Project: Transfer Ready DtTm
    • Item: the only available item is "Transfer Ready DtTm", just like the project entry.
    • Date and Time vs checkbox:
      • Collector needs to enter one of the following:
OR
  • checkbox checked if a clear transfer ready date and time are never documented, both must be present to be considered a valid Transfer Ready DtTm

Combining Transfer Ready DtTm tmp entry and Boarding Loc records

Collection for each Boarding Loc

We currently only use the first entry per Level of care to calculate Transfer Delay, but we collect both because:

  • It gives us the flexibility to report per location if requested
  • To make it easier for data collectors. This way, collectors don't have to try and go back and figure out if there was or was not a transfer ready in a prior location. They only need be concerned about the notes and orders from THIS boarding loc.

Start DtTm/Legacy

We used the old Transfer Ready DtTm field for transfer ready dttms before 2020-10-15, and use this new entry for dttms after.

The data during the transition period for PatientFollow Project is inconsistent, so we use all the new and the old in Created TransferReady query.

Data Use / Purpose

Critical care and Medicine programs want to know this to better understand patient flow and bed utilization.

Used via Created_TransferReady query and Created_transferDelay table to generate Transfer Delay and Avoidable Days (Critical Care).

Background

This isn't so much a project as a change to Transfer Ready DtTm collection to allow us to collect more than one Transfer Ready DtTm per patient-program-stay. See Change from Service Location to Service, Boarding Loc and Transfer Ready DtTm tmp entry for why we needed to change to this.

    • Does being on bipap or cpap for obesity be considered restrictive lung disease severe?--MWaschuk 14:31, 2012 May 28 (CDT)
    • There may be an element of restrictive lung disease with obesity as the lung cannot always fully expand related to pressure on the diaphragm of a morbidly obese pt. To be considered true restrictive lung disease however, this must result in impaired ventilatory function. Most obese pts on bipap are only on bipap at night to maximize the airway. To call this severe restrictive lung disease is incorrect. If they are on home O2 during the day as well or have any of the above issues like documented hypoxia or hypercapnea, then this would be considered severe restrictive lung disease. Bipap at night alone is not sufficient evidence of severe restrictive lung disease even if the pt is obese. --LKolesar 07:16, 2012 May 29 (CDT)

Implementation

ICD10

We are moving to derive this concept from APACHE Comorbidities in ICD10 codes.

Change log

  • 2022-02-17 - decided to stop collecting this and apply Change for Apache Chronic to ICD10 from separate variable
  • 2022-02-09 - Julie, Tina and Allan discussed Julie's most recent analysis of this; there are still many differences in dx vs chronic, with higher and lower counts for different components. Allan quotes a paper that acknowledges this difference in count, but that the Apache score ends up similar. Question raised: is the saving of time in no longer collecting this as a field worth the loss of accuracy.
  • 2021-04-22 - preliminary analysis of how deriving this from ICD10 would compare with previous manual collection; many differences; Tina emailed Allan and Julie, more to come
  • 2021-04-19 - Added Drug-induced immunosuppression since that component of this code was not previously collected comprehensively
  • 2021-03-11 - The list of drugs is at Template:List of immunosuppressive drugs.
  • 2021-02-22 - AG sent email to Julie and Tina to get back to this change.
  • 2018-11-28 - AG confirmed that this is an option

Legacy

  • when sent for import into TMSX and MedTMS the chronic health score was translated into yes or no; when we moved to Centralized data.mdb these were imported as "0HasChronic"
  • the fields were made into a pick list of 9 items that belong to one of the five APACHE II Chronic Health categories because Medicine wanted to use both APACHE II and SAPS II on Medicine patients. SAPS II and APACHE II scored these same chronic health items differently. SAPS is no longer collected.

The field can be seen on the Patient Viewer and the Patient List. The setting of the field will affect processing as follows.

Possible Values

incomplete

A patient is automatically set to incomplete when a new record is created.

complete

Once a patient's record is complete and all checkboxes in the Patient Viewer are set, the collector will try to set the patient to "complete". This changes triggers the CCMDB.accdb Data Integrity Checks that are set to run on completion; if any problems are found, the record is set back to "incomplete". Records that are set to complete will be treated differently during the next sending. Ideally the collector will set the field to "complete" as soon as you have entered the last data for a patient, while they still have the chart to be able to fix errors without having to get the chart again. Also, it saves time during sending.

sent

At sending, records that were set to "complete" will be changed to "sent" in both CCMDB.accdb and Centralized_data.mdb. A record that is "sent" can no longer be edited or overwritten by CCMDB.accdb during sending. If a record needs to be re-sent, the data processor needs to change the setting to "incomplete" first. In CCMDB.accdb, the "Delete Sent Patients" button checks for this field to be set to "sent" to delete patients.

discontinued

"Discontinued" is used for the following scenarios:

  • remnants of VIC Family Medicine patients which was collected after the consolidation for a period of one year from Oct 2017 to Oct 27, 2018. There were 30 patients still in the VIC units N4C, N5C and S5C by Oct 27,2018 when the decision to stop collection happened.
  • Lost/missing charts, see that page for details

only in CCMDB.mdb

deleted

We keep some portion of data for profiles that have been logically deleted of the laptop for 90 days (based on Dispo_DtTm). Use the "Previous entry" button to see all logically deleted records, or the Cognos2 Service Starter#"Show records on laptop with same chart number" button to see only records related to that patient.

When the "Delete Sent Patients" button is used, part of the record is actually retained for use by Cognos Report Integrator and collector investigations such as whether a patient had already been entered and deleted. The RecordStatus for these is set to "deleted" and they don't show up in the Patient List.

Names and most registry data and the entries of child tables such as Dxs etc are deleted, but Boarding Loc and Service tmp entry (and all other L TmpV2 entries) are retained.

Logically deleted profiles are eventually actually deleted by the "Delete Sent Patients" button (see time threshold above).

only in Centralized data.mdb

questioned

As part of the Centralized data Vetting Process the data processor runs queries to ensure data is valid. If any "sent" record has problems, she sets the recordstatus to "questioned". In the future a questioned record may be copied back to the collectors laptop automatically at the next send time to facilitate validation; likely the data processor would put an entry into the Notes field to tell the data collector what is wrong. See Questioning data back to collectors.

vetted

At the end of the Centralized data Vetting Process the data processor will press the "Vet all sent" button. At this time, any sent records that have not been flagged as "questioned" should be clean, so the button will set all "sent" to "vetted".

Data Integrity Checks

A lot of Data Integrity Checks are triggered when this field is set to complete.

The data in this field will be retained in Centralized data.mdb's L_Log table since it doesn't follow the same pattern as the new entry. The field no longer exists in CCMDB data.mdb.


See Transfer Ready DtTm tmp entry for what this field is about, or see the history of this page for how it has been used at different times before moving to the new field.

Collection Instruction

Entering a Transfer Ready DtTm

Follow the instructions in Transfer Ready DtTm tmp entry.

Before 2020-10-15   

For each patient,

  • enter the first date/time of intent to transfer to lower level in the Level of care hierarchy is documented into the Transfer Ready Date and Time Field; see #status changing back and forth
  • if not available because the patient was clearly not transfer ready, leave the date/time empty and enter "not transfer ready" into the "TR info status field"
  • if not available but the patient probably was transfer ready and it just wasn't documented, leave the date/time empty and enter "not available" into the "TR info status field"

This entry is about the time of an intent, nothing to do with what actually happened to the patient after.

Hierarchy of levels of care

We require an entry in this field when the intent is to transfer from higher to lower level of care. See Level of care hierarchy for a list.

Collection Start Dates

  • Critical Care: all units on board June 1, 1999
  • Medicine : all wards on board Jan 1, 2005

Legacy

Similar to the old Transfer Ready date and time, but we eliminated special cases and differences between medicine and critical care. Going forward the entry will be collected even if pt dies or goes to ER etc. It's the intent that counts, not what ended up happening. Resp. field names L_Log.R_TRDate and L_Log.R_TRTime
