Previous Location field
This field is currently being implemented, please check the instructions and put a discussion for anything that isn't clear.
The Previous Location field contains the previous physical location of a patient before arriving at the collection location. .
Collection Instruction
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.
If this field contains a "temporary" location like an ER, OR or Cath Lab you will need to enter the Pre-admit Inpatient Institution field.
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.
