{{DISPLAYTITLE:s_dispo.loc_type}} === Use === Used to aggregate [[s_dispo table]] data into groupings which is useful for filtering the population of interest for database requests or indicators being reported. Commonly combined with the [[s_dispo.loc_type]] field of [[s_dispo table]]. Ex: Ex. Out of City ER/ward/ICU/PCH, WPG ER/Ward/ICU/PCH, etc. Indicators like [[ICU Interfacility Transfer]] consider only those discharges to WPG ICU or [[Readmission to MedWard]] considers those who went to hospice, PCH, ambulatory care of out of WPG/MB/CAN in addition to others. {{DJ | * in [[s_dispo table]] [[HSC Lennox Bell]] is listed as loc_type{{=}}unknown/other ; many in that location would be most similar to "home", so should these be grouped as "non-patient" instead? Wherever we deal with "home", are we already including these? For example, for [[Readmission to MedWard]], would we include anyone who has been discharged to a "non-patient" location, or do we use more explicit groupings? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 15:24, 11 March 2025 (CDT) * also in [[s_dispo table]] [[HSC Lennox Bell]] is listed as site{{=}}HSC; it kind of is, but wherever that column is used to group, would this be a location we would expect in that group? Or should it be blank?
