General Information for the Chronic Health Facility entry in Pre acute living situation field.

Use the "chronic health" entry for patients coming from any part of

We are aware that these sites also have e.g. PCH beds, but for clarity, just collect anyone from these sites as chronic health.

Living in a PCH is relevant to generating the Overstay colour.

  1. are collectors all following the guideline above?
  2. When patients come from these facilities – Riverview, Deer Lodge, St Amant – is it easy to distinguish which care program area they are from (e.g. Riverview Personal Care, CVA/Stroke, Long Term Vent, Palliative,etc.; Deer Lodge Chronic Care/ Dementia, Personal Care, Peritoneal Dialysis, etc.) ? --JMojica 11:34, 2018 January 12 (CST)
  • I have been using PCH because they were total care.--CMarks 12:30, 2018 January 12 (CST)
  • I think I may have been putting personal care home when they come from that area of Deer Lodge or Riverview, but otherwise chronic health care facility. Each patient is sent with a transfer form/summary to the receiving facility and it usually identifies where they are from, also the history and physicals usually identify where they are from as well. I'm uncertain if you can identify by EPR, you may need to be familar with their wards/facility to know for certain. Lisa Kaita 13:08, 2018 January 12 (CST)
  • Well stated Lisa-this is now more frequent with the "blended care" at these sites as stated-PCH/Geri-rehab-Palliative Care: so-if you want accurate data or your general Chr Health choice; your call.--Llemoine 07:52, 2018 January 15 (CST)
  • Hi, I have been entering chronic health for the above listed facilities as per WIKI instructions for the Pre acute living situation field. Is it time for a change in collection practice? Pamela Piche 07:57, 2018 January 15 (CST)
  • I have been putting Chronic Health facility.The direction at the top of the article says any part of,so that's why I put chronic health facility.GHall 11:44, 2018 January 15 (CST)
  • I put in PCH when the charting says PCH from Riverview or DLC, if not indicated, then i put in Chronic Health Facility. --Malcudia 11:55, 2018 January 15 (CST)
  • StAmant and Selkirk = CHF // DL and RV rarely see them coming from there however I put from PCH unless saw that they were from rehab then entered CHF. Good reminder to code them all from CHF thanks p:Shirley Kiesman
  • If the chart does not specifically state what area they have come from, I think I have been putting chronic health care facility.--Vpenner 12:26, 2018 January 15 (CST)
  • In all honesty, it is so long since I had an admission from one of those places that I do not recall.--Jpeterson 12:32, 2018 January 15 (CST)
  • I think I have been putting chronic health-it is trickier when they are discharged as to whether to put PCH /Deer Lodge/Riverview etc. SCortilet

  • Why am I generating reds when the patients come from PCH? Seems a lot happening in last few weeks rather than a yellow.--Llemoine 07:52, 2018 January 15 (CST)
