Redesignating an Alternate Level of Care (ALC) Patient

A patient can be re-designated ALC only if the discontinue reason was due to ‘Change in Medical Status” and if the re-designation happens within 40 weekdays of the discontinuation date. After the 40 weekday threshold, the patient cannot be re-designated ALC and a new waitlist entry will need to be created.

See a list of the minimum fields required.

To re-designate a patient as ALC:

Use the Patient Search link to find a patient.

Note: A Patient's open waitlists can also be accessed directly from the Surgery, DI and ALC Home pages.

Click the View Waitlist Entries icon from the Patient Search Results screen.
OR

Select the patient's name to view the patient's demographics and then click the View Waitlist Entries button.
A list of the patient’s waitlist entries opens. Click the Waitlist Entry ID number to open the required waitlist entry.

Click the Re-designate button and make the required changes.
Enter the appropriate date for ALC Re-designation Date.

Important: When you re-designate, you need to re-populate the following fields:

Visit Number (mandatory for Complex facilities, highly recommended for Basic)
ALC Discharge Destination Type
ALC Discharge Destination Detail (if applicable)
ALC Discharge Destination Date
Most Appropriate Discharge Destination Type
Most Appropriate Discharge Destination Detail (if applicable)
Most Appropriate Discharge Destination Determination Date

Click the Save button.

Important: Multiple discontinuations and re-designations may be applied to the same waitlist entry when a waitlist entry is discontinued due to a “Change in Medical Status” and the patient is re-designated ALC within 40 weekdays.
