This is a check to ensure that patients with a long Transfer Delay (Critical Care) or Transfer Delay (Medicine) are not errors.

Any patient with a transfer delay longer than the following limits will launch an error when the dispo tab checkbox is checked. Data collectors need to confirm if not an error and write in the notes box that the transfer ready date_time is correct. The Statistician will look at the notes when doing report about avoidable days.

1. ICU (MICU, SICU, CICU, CCU, ACCU) - 7 days
2. IICU - 14 days
3. HOBS Wards - ?? days
4. Regular Wards - ?? days

At the meeting about cross checks (a long time ago) it was decided to change the cut-off to SD*3; if we want to proceed with this check, I will need values for that. Ttenbergen 23:08, 2020 October 15 (CDT) the MED above has to changed. I will do a calculation of recent data based on the new process using Mean+3SD. --JMojica 15:16, 2022 February 16 (CST) I am waiting for your Created Variables Common 2021 table to be done and from that table, the calculation of mean +3 SD will be derived. --JMojica 09:41, 2022 June 7 (CDT) Created Variables Common 2021 tableis now done. Ttenbergen 14:34, 2022 June 30 (CDT) new queries are live now so this could proceed. Ttenbergen 16:46, 2023 April 19 (CDT)

Use of the Notes field to escape errors

• There was a suggestion to omit the error if the notes box has a comment. That makes me think: we use this method for other checks, but I don't actually know how powerful it is, since most collectors use notes for all sorts of things, and some will leave the content when they are ready to send. If we are serious about this we might want to require them to put an entry into the tmp field instead. Is it worth adding one more entry to that? Guess it depends partly on how common the scenario is.

_after This will need to be implemented when the 3SD is available.

After implementation

Update the cross check info in Transfer Delay, Transfer Ready DtTm field and Dispo DtTm field from "needs discussion".
