** do you mean both N5 and 5S are COVID wards, please confirm because we need to distinguish the N5 as acute med unit vs N5 as covid ward. Covid ward(s) will be reported separately from the other med wards. thanks. --[[User:JMojica|JMojica]] 16:23, 2020 April 14 (CDT) | |||

Revision as of 16:23, 2020 April 14
This page is about the transition of collection units at GRAto accommodate the new COVID unit.
Background
The dates are not yet finalized.
- Monday?? April ??.20 – patients in GRA_N5 will be moving to GRA_2S
- ?? April ?? .20 - 5S will be a new COVID-19 ward GRA_5S_C with ?? adult beds
Transition plan
- There is no transition plan for the new COVID ward GRA_5S_C which has already been added to the s_dispo table.
- This transition plan is only for the patients in N5 who were moved to 2S.
- GRA_2S needs to be added to the s_dispo table.
- GRA_N5 needs to be added to s_tmp of Project BoardingLoc
collector instructions
- change the Service/Location of the record to the new location (ie from GRA_N5 to GRA_2S )
- enter the actual location as part of Boarding Loc:
- for patients who had no location borrowing during transition:
- change the "no borrow" line to "GRA_N5" and enter the time the patient arrived in N5
- add a line for "GRA - Home medicine ward" with the time that the patient was actually moved
- if there were patients who actually were in a borrow location during the transition, let's talk about how we would enter those
- for patients who had no location borrowing during transition:

Outstanding issues
I have spoken with Richard Q the manager on the 5th floor today and this is what he has told me:
- As of right now, they still don't have confirmation on the designated COVID units, but at this time, 5N is being used for COVID SUS and 5S is being used for COVID POS admissions. Currently according to EPR there are 2 positive cases admitted to 5S.
- Over the past week, there has been a lot of movement from 5N to 2S, which in the past was where our boarders were moved to. When I asked Richard, he indicated that 2S has become the "clean" medicine unit. Again, this is all yet to be confirmed by GH and/or WRHA.
- Currently, there is 1 doctor who has taken on the COVID patients, but again, this could be temporary and may change over time depending on what the demand is.
- Unless they are labeled COVID POS in EPR, there is no way for us to know what the swab results return as. This information will only be gathered once the chart is available in Medical Records. If you would like to grant us the ability to go to eChart to review, I'll leave that to the powers that be to decide. My understanding is in this Data Collector role, we are no to review records in eChart.
