The [[Transfer Ready DtTm field]] contains the time a patient would have been ready for discharge.
The [[Transfer Ready DtTm field]] contains the date and time that the '''intent to discharge''' a patient to a lower level of care was documented. A "lower level of care" would be from an ICU to a ward, or from ward/ICU to hospital out of town, PCH, care facility or home.
{{discussion}} Need to integrate definitions from [[Transfer Ready date and time]].


== Collection Instruction ==
== Collection Instruction ==
For each patient enter the date and time the patient {{discussion}}(need to figure out details of what, for now use same definitions as old [[Discharge date and time]]).  
For each patient,
* if a date/time of '''intent''' to transfer to lower level of care is documented, enter it into the Transfer Ready Date and Time Field
* if not available because the patient was '''clearly not transfer ready''', leave the date/time '''empty''' and enter '''not transfer ready''' into the "TR info status" field
* if not available but the patient probably was transfer ready and it just wasn't documented, enter '''not available''' into the "TR info status" field
This entry has nothing to do with what actually happened to the patient after.

Let's discuss items common to the 4 time fields at [[Accept_DtTm_field#Feedback_about_date.2Ftime_fields]].
Any?

This field is part of the [[2016 Time and Place changes]].
Similar to the old [[Transfer Ready date and time]], but we eliminated special cases and differences between medicine and critical care. Going forward the entry will be collected even if pt dies or goes to ER etc. It's the intent that counts, not what ended up happening.
