This project is related to Transfer Ready DtTm tmp entry but the definitions are different.

Data Collection

For any medicine record, capture the first time during a xxx that the patient is medically stable and ready to leave an acute medicine bed.

Do we want that to be the first time during a medicine program admission, or only the first time during a hospitalization? Ttenbergen 08:45, 26 February 2025 (CST) Also, we define Transfer Ready DtTm tmp entry to be able to do this per level of care to enable reporting separately for HOBS. I think there are problems with that concept since I doubt users of the data keep the detailed definition in mind, but we still need to decide if we want to be able to report this the same way. If so, we need the the same connector integer in the instructions. Ttenbergen 08:51, 26 February 2025 (CST) emailed DR about this Ttenbergen 11:36, 28 February 2025 (CST)

Data Entry Instructions

Automatic Entry

The following lines will automatically be added to each new medicine record:

• Project: MR - Item: "not entered" (because you haven't set a value yet)

Manual Entry

How do we want to define where to get this? Unless we get physicians to put this information into a specific spot we are right back to all the definition difficulties in Transfer Ready DtTm tmp entry, only it will be worse because collectors will need to keep conflicting but similar instructions in mind.

• SMW

• Cargo

• Categories

• Item: change the item dropdown as follows as you come across information
  • "ready" - physician documented that patient became ready at least once (enter dttm)
  • "never" - physician never documented that patient became discharge ready before dispo (no dttm)
  • "not documented" - data collector has strong impression that pt was ready to leave but no physician note (dttm as per best guess by collector, if available)
• Date: date as described in "item"
• Time: time ' '
• Integer: not used (we don't need to use this as we did in Transfer Ready DtTm tmp entry since we wouldn't want this pre level of care (or do we?)
• Real: not used
• Checkbox: not used
• Comment: not used

Sources

TBD, depends where Dr. Roberts negotiates for physicians to put this.
