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
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.
Where to find this information
If patient came from a different Winnipeg hospital this will be recorded in the “Visit History” on the EPR.
- Sometimes it is missing from the Visit History. Can also use paper chart sent to your hospital from the sending hospital for information.
