Workload Sharing for HSC_IICU

  • Due to the long-stay nature of IICU patients, the patients are divided amongst all HSC laptops and does not follow the PatientFollow Project
  • Each new IICU patient will be on the CSS of each HSC laptop. An IICU census list is posted in the office with the collector name and laptop assigned to each patient. When a patient is discharged from a laptop, the next admission will belong to that laptop/collector.


Process

Work Space

Work space in IICU is limited.

Collectors may use the small computer desk or one of the side desks used by nurses, if available.

  • Rounds takes place in the morning, so the best time to work in IICU is in the afternoons.
  • Collectors may take the large black binders (containing thinned charts and CCFS) to their office for review and to check TISS sheets, but make sure to let the CRN or the bedside nurse know. This was confirmed by the manager and CRN in IICU.

Coding in IICU

Additional Info

All IICU patients are entered as "medical" under Admit Type for APACHE II, even if they are admitted from SICU.
