The ER Delay is the difference between the pre-ER Boarding Loc and first post-ER Boarding Loc, for patients arriving from the ER.
It's is calculated by Created_Variables_Common_maker_2021 query and stored in Created_Variables_Common_2021 table in CFE. It is related to one of our Indicators, Length_of_Time_for_Transfer_from_ED_to_ICU_within_same_facility.
Data use
- Measure the time spent using ER bed/facilities/staff while already accepted under a Medicine or Critical Care Service.
- Measure the delay of movement of patient from ER bed to Medicine or Critical Care bed.
ER Delay Calculation
- Before Oct 2020 : If Previous Location is own ER
- Non-EMIP / Non-ECIP : Arrive DtTm - Accept DtTm and Accept DtTm missing is not marked
- if Accept DtTm missing is marked then ER Delay is missing.
- EMIP/ECIP: Dispo DtTm - Accept DtTm
- Non-EMIP / Non-ECIP : Arrive DtTm - Accept DtTm and Accept DtTm missing is not marked
- Starting Oct 2020 : if first Boarding Loc is own ER
- Only one ER Boarding Loc: Dispo DtTm - first ER Boarding Loc start Dttm
- At least two Boarding Loc: First NonER Boarding Loc start Dttm - first ER Boarding Loc start Dttm
Implemented as
- ER_Delay:
- IIf(Not [PatientFollow],
- IIf([location_name] Like "*EMIP*",[Dispo_DtTm],[Arrive_DtTm])-Nz([Accept_dttm],
- [Arrive_dttm]),Nz([created_FirstNonER_BoardingLoc].[dttm],[Dispo_DtTm])-[created_FirstER_BoardingLoc].[dttm])
- IIf(Not [PatientFollow],
- ER_Delay:
Outliers
ED stays in mid-hospitalization
- there are occasions where pts go back to the ED while under the care of ICU; we do not include these in ER Delays; discussed at JALT 2024-10-31...

Log
|
- 2022-06-28 - previous change got lost somehow, re-applied it; updated query to use query created_PatientFollow rather than in-query definition
- 2022-06-09 - updated Created_Variables_Common_maker_2021 query with the new definition.

Legacy
- Used to be just the difference between the Accept DtTm and Arrive_DtTm for patients arriving from the ER.
- Used to be collected as ER Wait and before that as Moves for Medicine.
