When viewing Encounters in table view, information will display outside of a filtered date range when a patient has not been discharged from the facility. The Discharge Date column will display one of two results: ‘Not discharged yet’ or ‘-‘.

eChart displays administrative information from hospital and health centre facilities that send encounter information to eChart (see FAQ below for list of sites). Administrative information displayed will include data such as visit type, facility attended, date of encounter, and discharge date.

Encounter information in eChart is high level overview of information about the admission, visit type and some discharge information from connected provincial ADT EPR source systems. Encounter information includes emergency department discharge summaries.

The facilities below send EDIS emergency department discharge summaries to eChart.

There are two ways to view a summary in eChart:

• Select Clinical Documents, Encounters, locate the emergency encounter and click the paper clip icon 

The numbers in brackets beside the encounter date are the length of stay, which might display for some encounters. Length of stay is the discharge time minus the admission time.

For some encounters, we can see the admission date and time and notice the discharge time is 00:00. This could mean the encounter discharged at midnight or that the encounter was auto-discharged.

The Emergency Discharge Summary is always sent when the visit/encounter starts as emergency, whether or not the patient is admitted.

There are nine (9) visit types from the EPR:

• Ambulatory – an outpatient visit where only essential visit-related demographics are collected
• Day Night Care –visit of less than 24-hours involving medical treatments or a surgical procedure

• Inpatient –admission to receive medical treatment/care involving an overnight stay
• Outpatient – ambulatory visit (virtual or in person) to receive medical treatment/care where an overnight stay is not involved
• Outreach – visit to receive medical treatment/care at home, in the community, by phone or virtually, e.g.,MBTelehealth
• Recurring – series of outpatient visits for the same episode of care
