Transitional Care

Transitional Care is provided in Transition Care Units (TCU) and River Ridge Transition Care Environment (TCE).

A transitional care facility is a temporary place for patients that are waiting for placement into an alternate care setting.

Other medical care and rehabilitation is provided before going home, to a nursing home or to other more permanent placement. This includes Geriatric Rehab.

In the WRHA setting TCUs usually have a defined period of time for the resident's stay to determine most appropriate final discharge destination.

If a patient's discharge to a TCU was delayed by more than a day then also code Awaiting/delayed transfer to transitional care facility.

Misericordia Transitional Care Unit?

I recently had a patient discharged to Misericordia Transitional Care Unit. Should we be adding this as an option to our dispo field? The only other options were Winnipeg PCH or Institution NOS.Mlagadi 10:41, 2019 May 2 (CDT) Flagging for Julie, since what we should collect should really be driven by what people want ask. Julie, if you prefer pls flag for the task meeting by replacing the first line of the discussion with DiscussTask.

I had a discharge to Misercordia Hospital yesterday, and the notes indicated that it was a “transitional care unit”. My only options from the Dispo drop down would be “Institution, NOS”, or “Winnipeg PCH”. I usually put PCH for all of my transfers to Misericordia, but I’m not sure this is the most accurate in this situation. The patient did not have a paneling code, nor was paneling ever mentioned. --Michelle - May 2.19 We will add transitional care entries for each hospital that has them; Julie and Tina will discuss name.
