Catch-all rules for the Check Capacity Summary search
Catch-all Search
The Catch-all search is invoked if, following the filtering processes, there are no services that can be returned. This is in order to ensure that the patient is offered a service that they can go to. The following rules are applied:
- If no services match, up to the nearest two services profiled with the Service Type ‘Emergency Department’ are returned.
- The catch-all service(s) must be within the default 60km search distance; any distance passed in as a search parameter is ignored
- The catch-all service must be Active
- The capacity status of the catch-all service is not taken into account
- The Service Name is suffixed with ‘(Catch-all)’
