The [[Transfer Ready DtTm field]] contains the date and time that the '''intent to discharge''' a patient to a lower level of care was documented. A "lower level of care" would be from an ICU to a ward, or from ward/ICU to hospital out of town, PCH, care facility or home.

The [[Transfer Ready DtTm field]] contains the date and time that the '''intent to discharge''' a patient to a lower level in the [[#hierarchy of levels of care]] was documented.

This entry has nothing to do with what actually happened to the patient after.

*Hi all just seeking clarification/continuity Re: documented intent of ~~transfer to a lower level~~ of care: Does this apply to medicine to medicine unit moves? For example,acute (Teaching) medicine patients who have written orders to "make non teaching" and are considered "ready" to move to a subacute medicine unit while still receiving treatment for active problems such as IV antibiotics or oxygen therapy.....is the "transfer ready date/time" the date and time of the written order in these instances and entered by the data collector?

== hierarchy of levels of care ==

from higher to lower:

*For patients transferred from ~~acute medicine units~~ to subacute medicine units while receiving ongoing treatment for active/acute problems would the "transfer ready date/time" be identical to the admit date/time providing there is a written order indicating patient status was changed to "non teaching" while on the acute medicine unit?

=== status changing back and forth ===

* What about patients whose status changes from transfer ready to not ready? In old system, medicine would keep the transfer ready date and ICU would not. I have emailed Allan Garland for an answer. Ttenbergen 17:37, 2016 April 28 (CDT)

** Randy stated preference to use ICU version, ie state latest one Ttenbergen 15:37, 2016 May 3 (CDT)

** Randy, Julie and I discussed that it would be good to do a short tmp study to find out how frequent it is for pt to have stop-and-go transfer dates Ttenbergen 15:37, 2016 May 3 (CDT)
