A patient is considered parked in ER if they are a direct admit who gets stuck in the ER. This is now LEGACY. Should now be collected in the tmp Boarding Loc. The Previous Location must now enter the location which directly sending the patient.

Collection Instruction

The rest is the same as for any other patient, expand to see details.   

The following may be out of sync with the linked pages; if it is, please update it with info from the linked pages which is likely the right version. .

  • Does this make Previous Location entry "STB - ER (parked)" etc defunct? Or should those still be used? If defunct, pls let me know when the last pt that uses these is sent so I can remove them from S dispo table. If not defunct, how should those now be used? Ttenbergen 22:40, 2020 October 18 (CDT)
    • Whatever is decided is fine, just wondering what to enter for previous location in these instances? Pamela Piche 13:13, 2020 November 24 (CST)
      • Enter them as if they were not a direct admit. If we had never had such a concept you'd enter them as coming from ER, right? Ttenbergen 16:15, 2020 November 25 (CST)
        • The question above implies a discussion, the previous location collection change (from ie. ER parked entry to ER) is embedded/hidden in the example and should be clearly visible and included in collection instructions above otherwise could be easily missed
          • I see your point. And that's why I don't think we should write the details like that on this page, just referring to the other page is better. I didn't want the explicit details here, that's why I added "The following may be out of sync with the linked pages; if it is, please update it with info from the linked pages which is likely the right version." at the top of the list of details. I will confirm with Julie that the "*ER (parked)" entries can be inactivated.

Chances are they can't just be inactivated because people are still using them, so if we want them gone we need to do something about it. Ttenbergen 21:49, 2020 November 26 (CST)
