Collection and Usage Attributes
A ward/unit transfer is recorded every time the patient moves from one ward or unit to another, within the same hospital.

Use the 24-hour clock to record the time of transfer. Times are between 0000 (midnight) and 2359. Note that 0000 (midnight) is the start of a new day.
Queensland Hospital Admitted Patient Data Collection (QHAPDC):
Must be a valid time.
Must not be null for admitted patient records with ward/unit transfer activity.
Hospital Based Corporate Information System (HBCIS):
HBCIS hospitals: currently HBCIS will not accept 0000 as midnight. If an actual event occurs at midnight, record 2400. For hospitals using 2400 as a default 2359 should be recorded.
