It might '''seem''' that a patient who was transfer ready but then moves to a higher level of care should be excluded, since they did not actually get transferred to a lower level of care. However, when the patient was deemed transfer ready, additional time in the ward was "wasted time" - if we could have sent them elsewhere we would have. If the patient later crashes, that doesn't make it not-wasted time - they could have crashed anywhere. So the interpretation that a pt moving to a higher level of care after transfer ready is not wasted time is not right. We discussed this repeatedly at task and steering meetings. The only way this makes sense is if it is done by intent.

{{DiscussTask | After a patient is transfer ready and before they are discharged the disciplines(PT/OT/HC) need to sign off before a patient goes home. What is the appropriate use of the code awaiting/delayed transfer home? I thought it was once the disciplines had completed their assessments that this code starts, however there are many unaccounted days of this that Julie is wanting to know about. So when are the other collectors using this code? Do I need to put further explanation into the notes? [[User:Mcrawley|Mcrawley]] 11:55, 2021 May 7 (CDT) }}
