This isn't so much a project as a change to Transfer Ready DtTm collection to allow us to collect more than one Transfer Ready DtTm per patient-program-stay. See Change to GRA Med, HSC Med, STB Med Service Location for why we needed to change to this.
Data Collection Instructions
- Use tmp fields:
- Project: Transfer Ready DtTm
- Item: Transfer Ready DtTm
- Transfer Ready Date: Date as defined in Transfer Ready DtTm, under column E.
- Transfer Ready Time: Time as defined in Transfer Ready DtTm, under column M.
- checkbox: to be checked only in case of patient who never became transfer ready
A first entry is added automatically to each new patient entered.
If the patient never becomes transfer ready, check the checkbox to say so. This is so we can be sure the entry wasn't just forgotten. Don't check this until you discharge the patient and are sure they never became transfer ready.
The first time the patient becomes transfer ready, enter the date and time into this pre-entered record. Don't check the checkbox in this case, since the patient is transfer ready.
If, after this initial entry, the patient moves to a physical location (ie new entry in Boarding Loc that has a different level in the Level of care hierarchy, then:
- leave the original line as is
- enter a new line, either without a date (for now), or if a new transfer ready date from the new level of care is known by the time you enter this, enter the new date and time
Then either check the box on the new line when you finally complete the patient, or lather rinse repeat.
