* The purpose is to determine the amount of time the patient is occupying a bed in an ICU setting when the patient no longer needs that [[Level of care hierarchy| level of care]] (also referred to as wasted bed) from the [[#Transfer Ready DtTm in use at different times]] until the [[Dispo DtTm]]. | * The purpose is to determine the amount of time the patient is occupying a bed in an ICU setting when the patient no longer needs that [[Level of care hierarchy| level of care]] (also referred to as wasted bed) from the [[#Transfer Ready DtTm in use at different times]] until the [[Dispo DtTm]]. | ||

*As agreed in JALT meeting March 22, 2023, transfer delays will be reported based on actual delay times with no more allowances of less than n hours. | |||
*previously, transfer delay calculation followed the national Vital Signs Monitoring program guideline which subtracted 2 hrs from all actual delay time. | |||
*In the meeting held Jan 11, 2023, it was decided as per approval from the Critical Care Director to define transfer delays as follows: (a) ignore such transfer delays <2 hrs, but (b) for all delays >=2 hrs to use the actual delay time. | |||

* The above is really about stratification, and not the indicator itself. Do you really only use it to stratify delays, or do you also report other indicators such as Length of Stay with it. Even if it is single-use, I think we should probably treat any generated value we use to stratify pretty much as we do Indicators, possibly using the same templates on the wiki. The stratification affects averages and totals, so it needs to be transparent. This is likely a can of worms because there must be much stratification in the reports.
