* as per Julie: "I have checked the database and there are also CAU entries  at GRA and STB in pre-admit institution, previous loc and dispo  (GRA_CAU, STB_CAU).  Do they  move location too?  Can we ask the DC?  If so, make it generic _ward. 
 
* In the tmp Boarding Loc,  there are 12 cases  GH-CAU – so it looks like Internal  med is borrowing CAU Bed.  What to do here – change to GRA boarding?
** I am not sure if the more recent entries for boarding loc would now list the actual location or still site-CAU.

A quick review of the data shows that collectors are using CAUs even now. Possibly more concerningly, when CAU is the [[Previous Location]] , about 5% coded the pre-admit location as NA/Not applicable, the rest coded it as same CAU, except for a few who are mixing CAU and ER in these.

Clinical Assessment Units are wards to which emergency department decants patients who are are waiting on acquisition of resources (diagnostics and consults) for 24 hrs or more before they are safely returned to community. At some time these were considered part of the ER, but as of 2020-10 they are all Family Medicine. Special collection instructions applied at some point, but now they are simply one of the many units we don't collect on.

Site Specific information

How these are collected differs at the different sites. See for more info:

Retirement of s_dispo entries

We used to collect the CAUs as separate locations from local wards because they used to be managed by the ER, and so could have contained EMIPs. As of 2021 they are all managed by Family Medicine, and so for our considerations are just another hospital ward where we don't collect, coded as e.g. HSC_Ward.

All *CAU entries for incomplete pts were changed to *ward entries, and the *CAU entries in S dispo table were retired.

On discussion with Julie it was decided to keep the s_dispo entries around and not convert them. The loc type is Ward in s_dispo which is enough when reporting - usually being combined as <site> ward.
