* Should we merge this with [[Selection and timing of APACHE components]]? Med doesn't collect all of these, but those that are collected should probably be collected following the same instructions... This especially should be reviewed since we no longer make a distinction between EMIPs and inpts for most other instructions. Should this instruction instead simply be:
** "Use the most recent value before service acceptance. If no value is available before service acceptance, use the first value available after service acceptance."
* if we reject this change, we should at least state once and for all that they are similar but different, and why. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 14:29, 2020 December 23 (CST)
** No, we can not merge these two because the definitions are still different. See further comments on counterpart page and integrate before deleting question. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 13:34, 2021 February 22 (CST)

This article explains which time/entry of vital signs to use for the ALERT Scale.

Collection Instructions

  • When a patient is admitted from the emergency department, use the values that are closest but prior to the time medicine service accepts the patient to their service (ie Admit DtTm).
  • The values do not need to be a complete "set" of VS, they can be individual values, but should be closest to but prior to the time medicine accepts the patient to their service.
  • When patients move between wards or from an icu to a ward use the values that are closest but prior to discharge/transfer from the sending service.
  • For STB Medicine (since this is available on EPR): Patients transferred from ICU to ward use the values on arrival to medicine unit.
  • For direct transfers to Medicine via the ER use the first value taken and recorded on the triage record.
  • Direct transfers that bypass the ER take the value on arrival to your unit.

Timing of ALERT vs APACHE

Selection and timing of APACHE components and ALERT Scale timing of assessment use similar but different criteria. They can't be unified because one uses values based on being closest to acceptance, and the other based on being worst.
