Overstay2 colour
The Overstay2 colour is a colour assigned to a patient based on data collected as part of Project Overstay2, which is run through the Overstay2 scoring models to generate a score and the Overstay2 colour. The colour modifies the Overstay2 processes on the units to reduce discharge delay.
The colour is a probability threshold set to balance the number of patients followed under the more elaborate Overstay2 processes on the units to reduce discharge delay#red process wile minimizing the number of patients who would overstay by more than 10 days that are not captured. It was set separately for each of the Overstay2 scoring models based on the following considerations:
- goal: reduce LOS 10-15%
- no more than 15-17% of patients tagged
- capture 60-75% of all delayed discharges
