=== DC TX & Transfer Ready Date/time ===

*Do not record a transfer ready date/time if the unit physician discontinues life-support treatment (withdraws therapy) on a patient. '''Leave it blank'''. This field is not for recording the date and time when discontinuation of life support process started.

==== questions re, transfer date and dc tx ====

Pts who become [[ACP C]] and expire in hospital 3 days to one month after comfort care is ordered.

* I would like to know where this type of patients fits in. Example: a patient who has co- morbids and is admitted with pneumonia and does not improve or deteriorates. The decision is made to provide comfort care only (ACP C). This patient lives three days to one month in hospital and then dies. Does this patient need a transfer ready date?

*If a unit physician discontinues life-support treatment and a patient does not die immediately and is placed on a transfer/ready list, and then passes away PRIOR TO being transferred out of the ICU unit, then [[Admit, Transfer and Discharge date and time#Transfer_Date_and_Time|Transfer ready]] should '''not''' be recorded.

*If a patient '''arrests''' in the unit and CPR is unsuccessful, the date and time of stopping CPR should '''not''' be recorded for [[Admit, Transfer and Discharge date and time#Transfer_Date_and_Time|Transfer ready]].
