CV ASC Registry Education-Seq#10110 (Discharge Location)

Video Transcription

Sequence 10110, Discharge Location, is indicating the location to which the patient was discharged. Home would be selected any time a patient returns to their place of residence.  This includes assisted living facilities. Skilled Nursing Facility would be selected when the patient returns to a facility for a longer anticipated length of stay.  An extended care or transitional care or rehab unit typically provides a high level of intensive therapy as well as specialized nursing and physician care.  This discharge setting may also be called subacute care or long-term acute care. When a patient is discharged to one of these types of facilities, this selection would be selected.  Other would be selected when the patient discharges anywhere other than the options provided. This would include facilities such as a jail.  If the patient is discharged or transferred to another hospital that provides acute care services, then acute care hospital would be selected.  If the patient was discharged or eloped against medical advice, then left against medical advice would be selected.
