Significance
Beds Occupied by Transferable Patients is the average number of Medicine beds occupied per day by patients no longer requiring the level of care provided in a Medicine setting. It can identify and quantify issues around flow out of the Internal Medicine Program.
Sampling Plan / Procedure
Inclusion Criteria
100% of all patients physically present in a ward bed awaiting transfer out of the Medicine and having a date value on the Transfer Ready DtTm field
- two transfer delay calculation
- when patient at High Obs ward went to regular ward
- when patient went to home, to other facility in the region and out of the region, rehab, PCH and those who died
Exclusion Criteria
Frequency
- Recorded Transfer Delay per patient
- Monthly, quarterly or yearly basis based on either Medicine Admit DtTm (Admission Dates) or Medicine Dispo DtTm (Discharge Dates).
- For the Director reports, the Medicine Dispo DtTm (Discharge Dates) are used as the time of reference.
Definition and Derivation
- Refer to the definition of Transfer Ready DtTm and Transfer Delay
Numerator
Num = Total Transfer Delay a given time frame
Denominator
Denom =number of calendar days in a given time
Formula
Beds Occupied by transferable patient = Num / Denom
Example
- Time Reference: Discharge Dates from Jan 1, 2021 to March 31, 2021
- Total Transfer Delays for patients who went to Ward/Home= 1798 days
- Beds Occupied by Transferable Patients to Ward/Home = 1798 / 90 = 20.0 beds
- Total Transfer Delays for patients at High Obs ward and who went to regular ward= 113 days
- Beds Occupied by Transferable Patients to Ward/Home = 113 / 90 = 1.3 beds
Data Sources
- Per patient Transfer Delay (Critical Care)
- July 1988 to Sept 2020 : derived from Transfer Ready DtTm field and Dispo DtTm field.
- Starting Oct 1, 2020: derived from the first transfer ready date and time in the Transfer Ready DtTm tmp entry and Dispo DtTm field .
