Pre-admit Inpatient Institution field
This field is currently being implemented, please check the instructions and put a discussion for anything that isn't clear.
The Pre-admit Inpatient Institution field identifies the previous inpatient location of patients who were already inpatients elsewhere before coming to our unit from a temporary location. This does not include patients who just arrived at an ER elsewhere and were not admitted as inpatient there.
Collection Instruction
If the "Previous" location field contains a "temporary" location like an ER, OR or Cath Lab you will need to enter the "Previous Inpatient Location" field. This will be a dropdown that allows an appropriate subset of the contents of s_dispo. Template:Discussion This would mean don't enter for patients from non-temporary locations; do we want it blank for those? Need to finalize detail... Ttenbergen 12:31, 2016 March 21 (CDT)
For each patient,
- enter the option that most closely matches
- if you know the situation but nothing on the list matches closely, enter other - known but not listed
- if the situation is unknown, enter location missing/unknown
Template:Discussion Tina needs to link this in with Location Chooser: "If you know the location exactly, you can type it. Otherwise press the "?" button to take you to the Location Chooser filter form to help you find the right one. " Ttenbergen 10:33, 2016 March 22 (CDT)
Where to find this information
If patient came from a different Winnipeg hospital this will be recorded in the “Visit History” on the EPR.
Example
- ICU Vic---family medicine ward at the Vic---ED HSC---ED STB---cath lab---ICU HSC.
- The PrevInptLocation field is: VIC_Ward
Data Use / Purpose
To document where those patients who were inpatients immediately before arriving on our ward/unit came from.
The detailed information will allow us also to distinguish between patients who were or were not inpatients before arrival. This is relevant to a patient's risk of bad outcomes.
The information will also give our administrators a better idea of which other hospitals are sending us patients, which they will use for planning.
Template:CCMDB Data Integrity Checks
- Records for all Admit froms in #Temporary locations need to have an entry (possibly "none")
- Records for all Admit froms not in #Temporary locations need to not have an entry
