Bed holds

From CCMDB Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A bed hold is when a patient leaves the ward/unit for a period of time but the bed is not released and the patient is not discharged. Possible reasons include surgery or tests at another site.

Guideline for beds held while pt offsite

  • If the pt is away <= 23 hours and is not admitted to a unit where we collect data during that time, continue the same profile
  • If the pt is away > 23 hours or is admitted to a unit where we collect data during that time, regardless if the bed is held, the pt should be discharged and a new profile started when the pt returns.

23 vs 24 hrs
