Transfer Ready DtTm field

This field is currently being implemented, please check the instructions and put a discussion for anything that isn't clear. 

The Transfer Ready DtTm field contains the date and time that the intent to discharge a patient to a lower level of care was documented. A "lower level of care" would be from an ICU to a ward, or from ward/ICU to hospital out of town, PCH, care facility or home.

Collection Instruction

For each patient,

• if a date/time of intent to transfer to lower level of care is documented, enter it into the Transfer Ready Date and Time Field
• if not available because the patient was clearly not transfer ready, leave the date/time empty and enter not transfer ready into the "TR info status" field
• if not available but the patient probably was transfer ready and it just wasn't documented, enter not available into the "TR info status" field

This entry has nothing to do with what actually happened to the patient after.

Questions?

Any?

Legacy

Similar to the old Transfer Ready date and time, but we eliminated special cases and differences between medicine and critical care. Going forward the entry will be collected even if pt dies or goes to ER etc. It's the intent that counts, not what ended up happening.
