Z75.1: Person awaiting admission to adequate facility elsewhere

The medical term, 'Person awaiting admission to adequate facility elsewhere,' refers to an individual who needs certain healthcare services but is awaiting a transfer to a proper medical facility better equipped to cater to his or her specific needs. This situation often arises due to the unavailability of specific resources, facilities, or specialized personnel in the current facility where the individual is initially assessed or treated. While waiting for the transfer, the individual might or might not exhibit any symptoms, depending on the nature of the underlying medical condition. The course or progression of the medical condition would also greatly vary depending on the specific illness or the objective of the transfer. Please note that this term is not a medical condition itself but mainly represents the state of a patient's healthcare journey at a particular time.
