== Instructions ==
'''''See [[Overstay Predictor Project Collection Instructions]] for collection instructions for this project.'''''
For every '''medicine''' patient at the '''Grace''' hospital, '''as soon as possible''', but definitely within 48 business hrs of admission:
* find the new "Overstay" form on the chart and enter the content of the first 6 check boxes into tmp entries (one to one, no interpretation necessary) (I will add a picture of the form here once we have one)
* Also enter at least the following
** DOB
** Admit Date
** ADLs
** whether there was any '''CVA''' or '''Dementia''' as a comorbid
** whether there was a '''stroke''' as an admit dx           


* Click the new “Overstay” button on the patient viewer form next to the notes field and it will turn a colour (red, yellow, green, or gray if some data is missing)
See [[Overstay Project Start Stop dates]]
** If the chart already has a sticker the '''same''' colour then you are done
** if the colour in the program is different from the one on the chart put a sticker of the program colour over the sticker on the chart. Stickers will be supplied.


=== If you can't find data ===
A small number of patients overstays for a significant amount of time after they are medically ready for discharge. Though the number of patients is small, a significant proportion of bed-days is wasted in the process. The Overstay Predictor Project uses an [[Overstay Predictor Project Algorithm | algorithm]] to  that uses data collected by the Critical Care and Medicine Database to predict an overstay risk. This risk is communicated to ward staff using a red sticker on charts and a direct communication to the unit manager.
* I have emailed Linda to please fill in who the collector should talk to if there are problems with the Overstay form or the other data required for the project in a timely manner.[[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 14:45, 2012 April 23 (CDT)


== Purpose ==
==Legacy==
A small number of patients overstays for a significant amount of time after they are medically ready for discharge. Though the number of patients is small, a significant proportion of bed-days is wasted in the process. We are piloting a process at the Grace where an "overstay coordinator" will be assigned to patients at risk of overstaying. Whether a patient is at risk is determined by the ward nurse assessing risk factors on a form, and by an assessment algorithm that takes into account the values mentioned as mandatory above; the combination of these results in a chart being assigned a colour sticker, and the transition coordinators monitor these chart stickers.
