See Overstay Predictor Project Collection Instructions for collection instructions for this project.
A small number of patients overstays for a significant amount of time after they are medically ready for discharge. Though the number of patients is small, a significant proportion of bed-days is wasted in the process. We are piloting a process at the Grace where an "transition coordinator" will be assigned to patients at risk of overstaying. Whether a patient is at risk is determined by the ward nurse assessing risk factors on a form, and by an assessment algorithm that takes into account the values mentioned as mandatory above; the combination of these results in a chart being assigned a colour sticker, and the transition coordinators monitor these chart stickers.

Transition Coordinator Assignment
If the patient has been designated as "red" for purposes of overstay prediction, the data collector will notify a Transition Coordinator by placing the patients name on the Transition Coordinator assignment sheet in the Transition Coordinator binder. The rotation of Coordinators is made up of Home Care, Social Work, Physio, And OTs. Once assigned the transition coordinator is responsible for following that patient throughout their hospital stay.
