== TISS Item ==
If done in ICU code {{TISS w Nr | Cardioversion (TISS Item)}}.


*Collectors, when a patient is admitted to your ICU with the primary reason being "cardioversion" for atrial fib do you include them as an ICU admission?  These are short stay patients 1-2 hrs that come from ER, home, ward to ICU for cardioversion and get sent back to ER, home or ward. Not admitted under ICU attending?[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 17:31, 20 August 2009 (CDT)
== Don't include bed-borrows ==
Some patients show up on the unit for cardioversion but are never actually admitted to the unit (ie they are [[bed borrow]]s). '''Only collect the patient if admitted under "ICU service attending physician".'''


*we are still finding a number of overlapping admissions.  An overlap is a patient who is occupying 2 beds, one in medicine and one in ICU during the same time period.[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 17:31, 20 August 2009 (CDT)

*So far I have been counting cardioversions as admissions.  This is because they are admitted under CCU doctors and require significant resources. 
I don't count patients that come for heart cath that we babysit for a short time. 
If you want to change this, please let me know.--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 12:10, 21 August 2009 (CDT)
