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".
