A patient is considered parked in ER if they are a direct admit who gets stuck in the ER.

Collection Instruction

The Visit Admit DtTm field and the Accept DtTm field will be the same
in Tmp Boarding Loc enter ER, the date and time will be the same as the Visit Admit DtTm field and the Accept DtTm field

	All the below seem to be the same as any other pt. Could we just say "Enter Previous Location field, Pre-admit Inpatient Institution, Service/Location, Previous Service field as for any other patient. " If we duplicate this info here for trivial scenarios then it will get lost if we change process for any of these. Ttenbergen 22:26, 2020 October 18 (CDT) I would leave it as is for now, it shows the difference between the old way and the new way, once we get used to entering the new way then perhaps we can change it. OK, I'll keep them but in a collapsible so they don't clutter things unless someone expands this. See below. I that's OK, pls remove discussion .Ttenbergen 14:15, 2020 October 19 (CDT)

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. . Previous Location field, enter the previous physical location of the patient From an inpatient location- the Pre-admit Inpatient Institution and the Previous Location will be the same Not from an inpatient location- the Pre-admit Inpatient Institution would be not applicable and the Previous Location would be their last physical location e.g. Thompson ER Service/Location would be the generic HSC_Med, GRA_Med, or STB_Med Previous Service field, enter the sending service, otherwise enter Unknown or not applicable or other known but not on list in Service tmp entry enter the accepting service, with the same date/time as the Accept DtTm field If the patient is transferred to a ward, in Tmp Boarding Loc enter their Home medicine ward, or bed borrow/contingency location, if they are discharged or transferred to another facility it will be an EMIP. in Tmp enter Transfer Ready DtTm / Transfer Ready DtTm tmp entry if applicable, if not transfer ready check off column B

	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)
