Workload Sharing for HSC_IICU
Due to the long-stay nature of IICU patients, their workload is divided different than PatientFollow Project
- Since the IICU census has increased to 10 beds, we are dividing the workload as follows:
- laptops H7 and H9 take either 3 or 4 patients each.
- laptop H8 takes 3 patients.
Process
- Beginning the end of May 2022 we have started to use the Using Cognos2 to keep track of patients
- Each of the 3 ICU laptops at HSC will have all IICU admissions appear on their Cognos2 Service Starter Enter patients that belong to your laptop using Cognos2 Service Starter. Profiles that do not belong to that laptop can be excluded from the Cognos2 Service Starter
- The Cognos2 Ender will identify discharged patient(s), the collector following the discharged patient(s) will admit a new one, H7 and H9 will alternate taking the 4th patient.
Work Space
Work space in IICU is limited.
Collectors may use the small computer desk or one of the side desks used by nurses, if available.
- Rounds takes place in the morning, so the best time to work in IICU is in the afternoons.
- Collectors may take the large black binders (containing thinned charts and CCFS) to their office for review and to check TISS sheets, but make sure to let the CRN or the bedside nurse know. This was confirmed by the manager and CRN in IICU.
Coding in IICU
- For a typical IICU patient, use the following codes if applicable:
- Respiratory failure (insufficiency), chronic in admit codes. (If the patient came from another unit (ex.MICU) this code would be an acquired diagnosis in that profile).
- Code the underlying cause for the respiratory failure (ex. GBS, C-spine injury, etc).
- Muscle, wasting/atrophy NOS
- Tracheostomy, has one
Additional Info
All IICU patients are entered as "medical" under Admit Type for APACHE II, even if they are admitted from SICU.
