The ER Delay is the difference between the Accept DtTm and Arrive_DtTm for patients arriving from the ER.
It's is calculated by created_variables_common_maker query and stored in created_variables_common table in CFE.
data use
- Measure the time spent using ER bed/facilities/staff while already accepted under a Medicine or Critical Care Service.
- Measure the delay of movement of patient from ER bed to Medicine or Critical Care bed.
Template:CCMDB Data Integrity Checks
The data collector will receive an error if the ER Delay is greater than:
- CC - 8 hours
- Med – 44 hours
- as of 2017-10-17 Julie would like that cross check; Tina needs to implement it still.
- Julie, this warning, it should only apply if the patient is from the location collection's own ER, right? Or also if from other ER?Ttenbergen 17:51, 2017 December 6 (CST)
Implementation: started query check_ER_Delay_not_too_big to exclude other sites and include only from this site. Waiting for EMIP question. Ttenbergen 17:25, 2017 December 9 (CST)
- Will the "error" stop us from completing our profile or just be a "notice/pop-up" that the time delay is outside of our expected parameters and we verify time? --Llemoine 07:36, 2017 December 11 (CST)
