🤔 Question: A patient was taken to another facility after their injury and was discharged with no follow up. Two weeks later, they called an ambulance and came to our facility for treatment of their injury. Would this be considered a transfer? 🌱 Answer: No, this would be a "direct from scene" admission as the patient was not transferred from another facility directly before admission to your facility. You will know the admission did not happen on the same day when you look at the date of injury versus the date of admission to your facility. |
