Additional Info
- This code includes the following:
- waiting to transfer to a different acute care facility IN WINNIPEG. ie. either HSC, St.B or Grace.
- waiting to transfer to another acute care ward/unit in the current acute care hospital
- Do not use this code if the patients is awaiting transfer to an acute care hospital OUTSIDE of Winnipeg (e.g. being repatriated to the acute hospital in Selkirk from which they originally came), for that situation use Awaiting/delayed transfer to any other care facility outside Winnipeg other than home or LTC/PCH
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.
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 one of the "awaiting" codes 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.
Possible reasons for delay that we can actually code
- Palliative care
- Respite care
- Problem related to unspecified psychosocial circumstances
- Medical Assistance In Dying
