SAS application for Missing Transfer Ready Time
The Statistician uses a proxy date when if there is a blank transfer ready time for a patient that REQUIRES the date and time.
SAS proxy transfer time assigned ICU
If you enter a transfer date you must also enter a transfer time. If no transfer time is available then enter
- 10:00 if discharge time is AFTER 10:00 am
- 0:01 if BEFORE 10:00 am
- follows the CCVSM criteria
SAS proxy transfer time assigned MEDICINE
If you enter a transfer date you must also enter a transfer time. If no transfer time is available then enter
- 12:00 if discharge time is AFTER 12:00 noon
- 00:01 if BEFORE 12:00 noon.
In the past (before 2011-05-04) the statistician just entered these proxy values to be consistent with the Critical Care Vital Sign Monitor definitions. If the patient records allow you a better guess than this, use it. As of CCMDB.mdb_Change_Log_2011#ver_2011-05-04 a blank transfer time will no longer be accepted if a transfer date is present.
