A bed hold is when a patient leaves the ward/unit for a period of time but the bed is not released and the patient is not discharged. Possible reasons include surgery or tests at another site.
Guideline for beds held while pt offsite
- If the pt is away <= 23 hours and is not admitted to a unit where we collect data during that time, continue the same profile
- If the pt is away > 23 hours or is admitted to a unit where we collect data during that time, regardless if the bed is held, the pt should be discharged and a new profile started when the pt returns.
23 vs 24 hrs

duplication on wiki needs to be cleaned up once we are on same page |
details are duplicated at articles in "what links here", should get rid of details elsewhere and only have them here, but need to discuss with Julie.
