== Workload Sharing for [[HSC_IICU]] ==

~~Due~~ to ~~the~~ long-stay ~~nature of IICU patients~~, ~~their workload is divided different than~~ [[PatientFollow Project]]

* IICU patients tend to have a long stay, which increases collection complexity

*~~Since the IICU census has increased~~ to ~~8 beds~~, we are ~~dividing the workload as follows:~~

* There was a perception that the [[PatientFollow Project]] creates a risk of a disproportionate number of these admissions on the same laptop

**laptops ~~H7 and H9 take 3 patients each.~~

* In order to avoid this, we set up a separate process that ensures the IICU admissions are always balanced between laptops.

**laptop H8 takes 2 patients.

=== Process ===

* ~~Once a patient~~ is ~~discharged from~~ IICU~~, the collector following that~~ patient will ~~admit a new one~~.

* A modified version of [[Using Cognos2 to keep track of patients]] is used

** The process is to ~~check the IICU census on EPR every shift worked~~.

* Each new IICU patient will be on the [[CSS]] of all HSC laptops.

** If one patient ~~is no longer~~ in IICU, the ~~collector following that patient~~ will ~~enter~~ the ~~new admission~~ on their laptop ~~manually~~.

* A paper IICU census list is posted in the office with the collector name and laptop assigned to each patient.

***~~This~~ is ~~different than due~~ to the ~~long-stay nature~~ of IICU patients.

** Each of the 7 collectors will have at minimum one IICU patient assigned to their respective laptop. As there are 10 beds in IICU, the remaining three patients will be assigned on a rotational basis, as patients are discharged from the IICU and the assigned laptop. ie. each collector at varying times may have up to 2 IICU patients on their laptop.

** The collector who picks up that admission uses [[Cognos2 Service Starter]] to enter the patient; subsequent service and unit changes will then show up as usual

** On the HSC laptops that did ''not'' pick up that admission, the [["exclude" button]] is used to omit the record from [[CSS]]

* This process has fluctuated with vacant positions and the actual number of collectors at HSC. ie. When there were five collectors at HSC, each collector had two IICU patients divided amongst the seven laptops.

{{Collapsable | always=implementation details | full=

* [[Cognos2_matcher query]] was updated to include all IICU patients, ie the filter based on site was preserved but the filter based on chart number ending omits them}}
