 Take answers to questions directly from the form, no interpretation, even if you disagree after reading the chart. We will be testing the answers provided by the nurses to determine if they are a better predictor of transition support needs or can be used in conjunction with existing admission data to improve the effectiveness of the prediction tool.

-If the patient is transferred from one medical unit to another within the facility  the current intention is that the patient will continue to be monitored by a Transition Coordinator till the time of discharge, so only one Discharge Screening Tool is required.

In this case there still would not need to be a a second screening form completed since the patient is already identified as needing assistance.
+If the patient is transferred from one medical unit to another within the facility only the one ''Discharge Screening Tool'' is required and the original Green Yellow Yes designation is retained. You do not need to collect the information from the ''Discharge Screening Tool'' or create new temp files. The Patient does need to be assigned to a Transition Coordinator.
