Wave 4 – Go-Live Day 19 – Continuing Go-Live Stabilization – Level of Care

Helpful Tips:

What is Level of Care?

Entered by the provider at the time a Patient Status Order, Transfer Order, or Patient Status Update Order is placed.
Level of Care is:

• Provider-designated determination of the level of care the patient requires at the time.
• Drives inclusion/exclusion criteria for clinical decision support rules and alerts.
• Medicare and payor required fields that are tied to billing charges.
• Do not assume Level of Care automatically by patient location. For example, although most cases in the ICU have Intensive Care, we may encounter boarder patients with a lower acuity.
