How the overall discharge RAG status is calculated

For each discharge-critical referral, we check its Referral RAG status.

If the service line for a referral is not discharge-critical, the referral is always shown as white and has no impact on the overall discharge RAG status.

Among all discharge-critical services, we identify the highest status level and this sets the overall Discharge RAG status.

  

The Referral RAG status for an individual referral is based on:

- the time to discharge date,

- and whether the partner has progressed the service to a point when it is ready for discharge.

 

If the referral:

• Has more than 5 days until the expected discharge date the discharge status will be blue.
• Has 5 days or less until the expected discharge date the discharge status will be amber.
• If it is 3 days or less until the expected discharge date the discharge status will be red. 
• If the referral is ready for discharge, then it will be green.

 

 

Non-discharge critical referrals will be shown in the "Referral status" as white. These referrals will have no impact on the overall discharge RAG status.

 

If a Referral status shows as grey, it means the service line has been either declined by the patient or the need has been set as "unmet".
