Transfer Delay

More Info

• Transfer Delay is reported as one of the following Indicators, see those pages for how specifically it is used there.
  • Transfer Delay (Critical Care)
  • Transfer Delay (Medicine)
• 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
