Components - Expected Discharge Date (EDD)

Expected Discharge Date

An inpatient's Expected Discharge Date (EDD) (also referred to as "Estimated" or "Anticipated" discharge date) is the approximate day that the patient should be ready to transition to the next care setting, including community settings. Inpatient care teams should build consensus about the EDD iteratively, allowing all to align work for timely patient transitions. 

The EDD may reflect awareness of an Expected Length of Stay (ELOS) for patients with the same admitting diagnosis, demographics and co-morbidity burden, but the EDD is a date and the ELOS is an interval.

Data (EPT, ADT)

EDD data is managed as a related data group in Connect Care (Epic), with some elements stored as arrays (e.g., review dates, EDD values) of all entries and revisions. Data is attached at the intersect of patient and encounter.
