Discussion

• Collectors, when a patient is admitted to your ICU with the primary reason being "cardioversion" for atrial fib do you include them as an ICU admission? These are short stay patients 1-2 hrs that come from ER, home, ward to ICU for cardioversion and get sent back to ER, home or ward. Not admitted under ICU attending?TOstryzniuk 17:31, 20 August 2009 (CDT)

• we are still finding a number of overlapping admissions. An overlap is a patient who is occupying 2 beds, one in medicine and one in ICU during the same time period.TOstryzniuk 17:31, 20 August 2009 (CDT)

• So far I have been counting cardioversions as admissions. This is because they are admitted under CCU doctors and require significant resources.

I don't count patients that come for heart cath that we babysit for a short time. If you want to change this, please let me know.--LKolesar 12:10, 21 August 2009 (CDT)

• I have also been included these patients as admisstions as they ARE admitted under our ICU attendings and have one of our ICU nurses assigned to that patient, however short their stay.
