| == 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
| |
| *for the first 6 check boxes on the form, create a record for each in tmp entries and check the checkbox if the answer is Yes. (one to one from the form, no interpretation necessary)
| |
| *(I will add a picture of the form here once we have a final version)
| |
| * Also, enter at least all the following as part of minimal dataset
| |
| ** DOB
| |
| ** Admit Date
| |
| ** ADLs
| |
| ** whether there was any '''CVA''' or '''Dementia''' as a comorbid
| |
| ** whether there was a '''stroke''' as an admit diagnosis
| |
|
| |
|
| * Click the new “Overstay” button on the patient viewer form next to the notes field and it will turn a colour:
| | See [[Overstay Project Start Stop dates]] |
| **GREEN, YELLOW or RED - based on an underlying algorithm too complicated to get into here, but based on tmp entries, age, comorbids, admit dxs and ADLs
| |
| ** GRAY- if some needed data is missing
| |
| ** 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)

| ===Questions=== | | ==Legacy== |
| #What does RED tag indicate? This is not really clear to me in algorithm.[[User:TOstryzniuk|Trish Ostryzniuk]]
| | see [[Overstay Project Start Stop dates | Implementation Dates]] |
| #Where on the chart will this new form be and will it be a colored form?[[User:TOstryzniuk|Trish Ostryzniuk]] 10:43, 2012 April 24 (CDT)
| |
| #the time we use as the time of admission will be different than the time of admission to the unit, and often significant time has passed between the 2 times so the information collected is different e.g. pt is confused at our admission time but by the time the patient goes to the unit, the patient is now A & O etc or vice versa. Will this affect the algorithm?
| |
| #* use the data as you would have entered before as that is what the algorithm was based on. I hope that helps, since I know some collectors used to collect this much later. Pls let me know if you need more info. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 12:47, 2012 April 27 (CDT)
| |
| #should lacunes or lacunar infarcts that are/have been asymptomatic but are reported on a CT be included as CVAs in the comorbids?
| |
| #* They should be reported like they always have been. We are basing the algorithm on previous data. This does not preclude us from discussing that question independently on the appropriate wiki page. Trish, I have no idea what a lacunar infarct is, could you provide the link? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 12:47, 2012 April 27 (CDT)
| |
| #should ICHs be considered CVA in comorbids, and will ICH be considered a CVA in the Dx?
| |
| #* They should be reported like they always have been. We are basing the algorithm on previous data. This does not preclude us from discussing that question independently on the appropriate wiki page. Trish, I have no idea what a ICH is, could you provide the link? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 12:47, 2012 April 27 (CDT)
| |
| #will it be necessary to document a difference in sticker colours if we need to change the colour once the algorithm has run?
| |
| #* no need. The original colour is based on the items you enter into tmp, so we can go back from that if needed. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 12:47, 2012 April 27 (CDT)
| |
| #How can I test the yellow colour?-I can only get the overstay button to be red or green using multiple different combinations of the check boxes
| |
| #* yellow would be based on a combination of comorbids and ADLs and age. Make a patient a little less sick and they will become yellow. Sorry, can't give you exact instructions, the algorithm is pretty messy. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 12:47, 2012 April 27 (CDT)

| == Purpose ==
| | {{Data Integrity Check List|}} |
| 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.
