Overstay Predictor Diagnosis Code Used
The Overstay Predictor Project uses a number of diagnoses as indicators whether a patient would be likely to overstay due to difficulty in discharging. The following diagnoses are included to accomplish this.

Other Codes used (admit and comorbid)
No Acquired Diagnoses!
No acquired diagnoses will be included in the analysis; acquire diagnoses would not be available at the time that we need to make this prediction. We need to exclude acquired dxs from the dataset given to Rodrigo and provide it again.
Comorbidity
Generally we don't want comorbids for this analysis because it is assumed that the patient was able to cope with the condition from home. The only exception is 52600 - Dementia; apparently dementia having progressed to a non-functioning level is often the reason why a patient is hard to discharge.
this has not been included in the analysis yet, we need to give Rodrigo new dataTtenbergen 16:15, 2012 July 12 (CDT)
Other diagnoses that might cause overstay
The overstay team is aware that some other diagnoses might also cause discharge delays. If you come across some that we missed, please add them below, with a reason why they should be included. We will review the algorithm over time and might decide to include these at that time.
