REASON FOR DISCHARGE DELAY

The reason why a PATIENT with a Discharge Ready Date who no longer meets the ‘Criteria To Reside’ in a Hospital Bed, has not been discharged from a Hospital Provider Spell.

The REASON FOR DISCHARGE DELAY should be recorded when the PATIENT has not been discharged from the Hospital Provider Spell and has incurred one or more overnight stays since being assessed as having ‘No Criteria To Reside’, and the recording of the Discharge Ready Date.

The REASON FOR DISCHARGE DELAY may change during the period of time during which discharge is delayed, and such changes should be submitted in the Healthcare Operational Data Flows Data Set: Acute - Current.
