***BUT in the absence of some clear indication (a discharge order, or a progress note, or one of the 2 items immediately above), do NOT try to guess at the transfer ready timing. For example, if there is no such order, and no note saying that the patient was ready to leave, but the patient was discharged, in this case assign the transfer ready timing as the actual discharge timing. | ***BUT in the absence of some clear indication (a discharge order, or a progress note, or one of the 2 items immediately above), do NOT try to guess at the transfer ready timing.

*Special Note regarding Transfer Ready from a ward: Before going home, some ward patients get a home safety evaluation from PT and OT, and if deemed safe for home get a homecare evaluation before going home. | |||
**The transfer ready date/time in such a situation should be only after the PT/OT evaluation has deemed them safe to go home, i.e. before homecare has seen them. The rationale is that homecare evaluation can occur after discharge, but a hospitalized patient who “fails” their home safety evaluation will end up going to LTC, not home. | |||
