+*'''Transfer Delay''' is a concept involving:
+**The [[Level of care hierarchy]]
+**[[Transfer Ready DtTm]] = the date/time when a patient in a location with a given ''Level of Care'' is deemed ready by the care team to be transferred to a '''LOWER''' Level of Care
+*''Transfer Delay'' is specific to the current Level of Care
+**At a given Level of Care, it is the interval from the first designation as Transfer-Ready until the first of the following occur:
+***Death while at that same Level of Care
+***Transfer to a lower Level of Care
+***Transfer to a HIGHER Level of Care -- when this occurs, the "clock restarts" for possible Transfer Delay at that higher level
