"No Transfer Date" in Medicine: Difference between revisions

Line 32:

**I think someone should make a decision what is wanted for this tmp entry and then the data collectors will do that. Do you want the tmp entry used even if a guess can be made or in all instances where the doctors do not indicate when the pt is ready for transfer, regardless if a guess can be made or not?? Asking the data collectors what they do does not seem helpful. Tell us what you want and we will do that. (This is my opinion)--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 06:50, 2014 May 7 (CDT)

**For Medicine, the project NO_TRANSFER_DATE on the TMP implies having no transfer date to enter because there is no clue found anywhere in the chart to infer the date. This is consistent with item (a) above. If you want to include item (b) which implies having a transfer date but only guesstimate, then the project name should be changed to a different name to avoid confusion. In order to decide which one we need, we have to go back to the basic question 'Why are we doing this and for whom?' Do we need 1) to account how many transfer dates are from written orders or guesstimate or blanks and then report to the management, or 2) to identify the blank transfer dates that were accidentally missed by data collectors (i.e. which will be known if there is no documentation on the TMP). If the goal is (1) then we need both items (a) and (b) but need to have a different project name. If goal is (2), then we need item (a) with project name NO_TRANSFER_DATE.
