Additional Info
- This is to distinguish transfers for bed management reasons (e.g. to clear a bed from the sending unit so it can admit a patient), as opposed to transfers for medical reasons (e.g. patient transferred from Grace ICU to MICU because she needs dialysis)
- It should be coded as:
- An Acquired Diagnosis from a collection unit that is transferring a patient out
- An Admit Diagnosis from a collection unit that is accepting the patient in transfer
- For any transfer, it is possible that only the sending or only the receiving unit is one where we collect, so a counterpart may or may not exist
- Other decisions made about this code:
- All transfers to Low Acuity Units (LAU), and well as similar location types, should have this code included from the sending unit
- We will NOT use this code for repatriations of patients back to their local hospitals

Data use
- The absence of this code will mean that a transfer was "for medical reasons".
- We decided that instead of doing a consistency check to ensure that the sending and receiving units both have this diagnosis coded, that in doing reporting Julie will consider the transfer to be for bed management if it was coded in either the sending or receiving unit
