The function compares the LOS as per Function LOS() to s_dispo.meanLOS3STD and gives a warning (an error that can be OK'd past) if the current patient has been there longer.

This is implemented as a soft check, so will come up repeatedly over the course of collection for a record. It should only trigger for less than 1% of records, but for those it will come up every time. If this becomes problematic for collectors, we should discuss it at Task.
