The purpose is to determine the avoidable days or bed wasted by patients who are deemed ready to leave the unit or ward and either move to a lower level of care or leave the hospital. Bed wasted or avoidable day is calculated by getting the difference between the Discharge Date_time (or Dispo Dt_Tm) and Transfer Ready DtTm. | |||
