The ER Delay is the difference between the pre-ER Boarding Loc and first post-ER Boarding Loc, 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.
ER Delay Calculation
- Before Oct 2020
- Non-EMIP / Non-ECIP : Arrive DtTm - Accept DtTm
- EMIP/ECIP: Dispo DtTm - Accept DtTm
- Starting Oct 2020
- Only one ER Boarding Loc: Dispo DtTm - first ER Boarding Loc start Dttm
- At least two Boarding Loc: First NonER Boarding Loc start Dttm - first ER Boarding Loc start Dttm
Implemented as
- ER_Delay:
- IIf([accept_dttm]<#2020-10-01# Or [dispo_dttm]<#2020-10-01#,
- IIf([location_name] Like "*EMIP*",[Dispo_DtTm],[Arrive_DtTm])-Nz([Accept_dttm],
- [Arrive_dttm]),Nz([created_FirstNonER_BoardingLoc].[dttm],[Dispo_DtTm])-[created_FirstER_BoardingLoc].[dttm])
- ER_Delay:
Log
- 2022-06-28 - previous change got lost somehow, re-applied it
- 2022-06-09 - updated Created_Variables_Common_maker_2021 query with the new definition.

Reporting and Analysis
The SAS Program to read the data is in X:\Julie\SAS_CFE\CFE_macros\datetimes.sas
Legacy
- Used to be just the difference between the Accept DtTm and Arrive_DtTm for patients arriving from the ER.
- Used to be collected as ER Wait and before that as Moves for Medicine.
