Well I’ll be damned.

I also work in pa and while I do outpatient now I worked in inpatient for years. Whoops! To be fair it’s been years since I did hospital stuff and admissions was never my deal. I couldn’t remember the longer ones for the life of me. I could’ve sworn 302 was 72, but you’re definitely right

    All good, I always feel like it's 72 hours, and I think the equivalent in most states is only 72 I think we're the odd one out on that, and I feel like in most cases patients managed to get stabilized enough to be discharged after the 72 hours.

    I kind of feel like the extra two days are mostly so there's time to get everything set up for a 303 in case the patient tries to fight it and it goes to court. I had to be a witness for that over a call I took once, I only got like a day or two's notice because it all has to happen on such a condensed timeline
