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.

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 you know the location exactly, you can type it. Otherwise press the "magic wand" button to take you to the S dispo chooser to help filter options if desired.
