Additional Info
- This code is for those waiting to transfer to anyplace in Winnipeg EXCEPT:
- a long-term care facility/PCH
- home
- one of the other acute care hospitals (as of 2020 these are limited to HSC, St. B and Grace).
- Thus it includes awaiting transfer to any of:
- any transitional care facility -- Transitional Care
- any part of the VGH, 7 Oaks Hospital or Concordia Hospital -- whether it's the strictly transitional care part or not
- the parts of Riverview, Deer Lodge (DLC) and Misericordia OTHER than their PCH portions -- their chronic ventilator portions are included in this code
Guidelines for the use of "awaiting" code
How much of a delay is required before we code "awaiting"?
- Code awaiting if Dispo DtTm is not on the same calendar day as the Transfer Ready date and time.
We realize this is different from Transfer Delay. For example, if patient was transfer ready on Tuesday, but left on Wednesday or thereafter, use one of the codes in Category:Awaiting/delayed transfer.
- There will be documentation in the notes that a panel meeting has taken place and that the pt is officially on the panel waitlist.
Status changes and is no longer awaiting
If the transfer is cancelled do NOT remove the "awaiting" code.
Status changes and is awaiting different destination
If during the wait to leave, the location to which the planned transfer changes, leave the first awaiting code, thus can have >1 Awaiting code in this situation. If/when the patient becomes stable again and is waiting for a long-term bed/PCH inside or outside Winnipeg then enter a second Awaiting/delayed transfer to long-term care/PCH inside or outside of Winnipeg.
If the destination is not to a long-term bed/PCH then follow the Transfer Ready DtTm criteria
Patient arrives on unit already awaiting care
- For patients who arrive "transfer ready" (usually to a low acuity ward), use the "awaiting" code as primary if there are no active medical problems. If the patient is still actively being treated for something, make that diagnosis primary and the "awaiting" code a lower priority.
- For patients that have been paneled for a PCH in the community, use this code as a Comorbid Diagnosis. This process will often be put on hold or re-evaluated once admitted, so it can also be used again as an Acquired Diagnoses
Possible reasons for delay that we can actually code
- Palliative care
- Respite care
- Problem related to unspecified psychosocial circumstances
- Medical Assistance In Dying
