The transfer ready date and time is when the pt is deemed stable enough to be transferred out of the ICU (usually to a ward setting).  If the pt has a transfer ready status in ICU but deteriorates following this, the time and date would be changed accordingly.  This differs from the ward transfer ready.

* '''ACP-C means transfer ready in ICU''': As discussed with Dr Garland on May 12, 2014:  When a pt is made ACP-C the pt could technically be transferred to hospice, home or a ward that is not an acute medicine ward.  This means that the ACP-C pt does not need to be on an acute medicine ward or ICU.  Subsequently, when a pt is made ACP-C this time could be used for transfer ready.
