Admit From & Discharged To

The Admit From value defines the location from where a patient was admitted, the Discharged To value where they were discharged to.

If a patient is admitted from your own centers ER , OR, Ward, Recovery Room etc. no hospital number code is required. However, if a patient is transferred from another center and goes to your ER then to the OR and is then admitted to your unit Post-op, in Admit From Box, code the fact that the patient was from the OR, however in the Hospital Number box, please put the hospital number code which patient came from.

For patients who were admitted from a hospital outside of Winnipeg, also see the entry for Hospital previous.
