Special Cases

IICU Consulted but pt deteriorates before transfer

How do you want us to handle cases where IICU has been consulted and accepted but then the patient's condition deteriorates prior to getting a bed in IICU and is no longer a candidate for IICU? Lisa Kaita 09:06, 2018 November 8 (CST)

Why not put this in Transfer Ready DtTm?

• Why do we need a project to determine the patient days waiting for transfer when we already put in the Transfer Ready DtTm? I suggest we just put another option in the drop down for transfer ready which would read "waiting for IICU bed" and then you would have the information you need without a new tmp item. --LKolesar 07:59, 2018 November 6 (CST)
  • The definition for Transfer Ready DtTm says to enter the first time they are transfer ready. This may not be the first time. Also, we prefer not to add temporary data to existing fields because it would change their definition with special cases, and mess with cross-checks that are based on those fields.

Consistency Checks

<Any? Might want to wait for first bit of collection so that special cases don't stop collection or cause maladaptive data.>
