RE: DC TREATMENT & TRANSFER/DISCHARGE READY DATES: | |||
If you ICU physician DC’s TX (withdraws therapy) on a patient then TRANSFER/DISCHARGE READY DATE is NOT NEEDED. | |||
If a patient is on the transfer ready list and his condition deteriorates | |||
resulting in the need to remain in the unit, then this patients transfer ready is CANCELLED. Please delete transfer ready date and time from your patient | |||
Registry date or remember to change it if a patient is put back on the | |||
transfer/discharge ready list. | |||
If a patient arrests in your unit and CPR is unsuccessful—the date and time of stopping CPR should not be recorded for TRANSFER/DISCHARGE ready. | |||
If an unit physician discontinues TX and a patient is put on the transfer/discharge ready list but unexpectedly passes away prior to being to being moved out of your unit, then the recording of TRANSFER/DISCHARGE READY is appropriate. | |||
