Percent of discharges to ward
Significance
Discharge from ICU at night occurs because of either the delay of an elective discharge, an unplanned discharge is forced due to inadequate ICU capacity. Night time discharges have been associated with adverse outcomes.
Sampling Plan / Procedure
Inclusion Criteria
100% of all survived ICU patients discharged to ward
Exclusion Criteria
Frequency
Definition and Derivation
The proportion of patients discharged to the ward or step-down where discharge occurred between 22:00 and 06:59
Numerator
Num = Number of survived discharges to ward that occurred between 22:00 and 06:59
Denominator
Denom = Number of survived discharges to ward
Formula
Night Time Discharge Rate (%) = Num / Denom * 100
Example
- Time Reference: Discharge Dates from Jan 1, 2017 to March 31, 2017
- Total survived discharges to ward that occurred between 22:00 and 06:59 = 21
- Total survived discharges to ward = 102
- Night Time Discharge Rate(%) = 21 / 102 * 100= 20.6 %
Data Sources
The following fields from L_Log table - Discharge time (Hour) from Dispo DtTm field and Dispo field are used.
