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. See Overstay2 Overview for more context.
The colour is based on a probability threshold that is 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, so see those pages for the actual thresholds.
Goals/considerations
The thresholds were set to stratify patients into different Overstay2 processes on the units to reduce discharge delay 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
Method of setting threshold

Emailed 2025-06-08: we need to understand the mechanism we used to set the threshold. To be updated when clear. Ttenbergen 17:57, 8 June 2025 (CDT) |

- 2025-02-20 - decided that we want
- goal: reduce LOS 10-15%
- no more than 15-17% of patients tagged
- capture 60-75% of all overstayers
