Medicine Situation

Transition plan

  1. There is no transition plan for the new COVID ward GRA_5S_C which has already been added to the s_dispo table.
  2. This transition plan is only for the patients on N5 who were moved to 2S or who remained on N5 under the N5 physicians.
  3. GRA_N5 patients discharged before April 15 remain GRA_N5
  4. All admission to N5 on or after April 15, 2020 will have service_location=GRA_2S


Collector Instructions for Transition Plan

  1. change the Service/Location of the record to the new location (ie from GRA_N5 to GRA_2S )
  2. 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

N5 COVID suspect ward

This ward is a mix of different medicine patients ie. 3S, 2S, and 3N patients, therefore each data collector will enter their own patients

  1. the Service/Location will be your home ward location
  2. in the tmp the Boarding Loc will be N5
  3. if the patient's result is negative and they are moved back to their home ward then enter Boarding Loc GRA home medicine ward with the date and time they are transferred back
  4. if the patient's result is positive,and if they do not physically move to S5 and remain on N5 then no change is required, if they move to S5 create a new profile for using Service Location 5S_C

Special Circumstances

When Reviewing a chart in MR and you find a COVID positive or COVID suspect patient that occurred BEFORE the new COVID positive/suspect wards were opened, use Service Location home ward location and use the appropriate COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2) or Observation for suspected infection NOS code.

When reviewing a chart in MR and you find a COVID suspect patient on your home ward and the patient is transferred to another location where the diagnosis of COVID positive is made, check the date/time the swab was sent. If it was sent less than 48 hours after admission code this as an Admit Diagnosis, if the swab was sent greater than 48 hours after admission code this as an Acquired Diagnosis

Serial Number

  1. For transition unit ie. N5 to 2S use your continuous serial numbers
  2. For 5S_C start with serial number 150


Examples of Entries

If in the documentation from ER it says that a COVID swab was sent and they do NOT indicate the result, we assume they were admitted to whichever ward as COVID SUS

  • If they were admitted to 5N, service location= home ward location (3N, 3S or 2S), boarding loc in tmp= 5N
  • If they’re admitted to their home ward, Service Location = home ward (3N, 3S, 2S), no boarding loc in tmp is necessary, unless they are transferred to 5N at some point during their stay
  • If they’re swabbed positive, the initial profile will be discharged to 5S_C, and a new profile will be created Service Location= 5S_C, and if they’re physically anywhere other than 5S_C use their home ward location.
    • We do not follow surgery patients that are COVID suspect unless they are under the care of medicine

ICU Situation

  • The current Grace ICU will be the COVID unit. A new 15 bed ICU has been set up in the GRA_PACU area, this will be the clean ICU.

Reporting

  • Service location GRA_N5 before April 15, 2020 and GRA_2S are reported together.
  • Service location GRA_PACU and GRA_MICU are reported together.
