The "Filter" Variable field is currently only used for tagging those patient that are on Long term ventilator, (LTV).
- LTV tag in the filter field is used only for patients who are already on home/institution ventilation either on an LP 3-10 OR, WHERE A DECISION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED TO START ON A HOME VENTILATOR ON THE SAME ADMISSION.
- Just a consult to home ventilation service is NOT sufficient because some patients are either turned down by the LTV Service or they are successfully weaned off of the ventilator. Example: C spine injury; severe COPD.-- Dr. Dan Roberts--TOstryzniuk 14:06, 14 October 2010 (CDT)
Current Tag used for ICU:
- LTV = Long term ventilator
- The database program is currently not collecting data on any of medicine service wards that care for LTV patients.
Legacy Data
1. HSC-CCU Only. Tag started: Sept 25, 2003, stopped 2005.
- B = CCU patient on B3 only
- H = CCU patient on H7-CCU only
- BH = CCU patient on BOTH B3 & H7-CCU during one admission
Purpose was to capture CCU patient location during ICU CCU bed closure and during some renovations.
2. HSC & STB-CCU patients only. Tags used for ICU:
- CC - intubated/ventilated patient in MICU under care of cardiology service or co-managed with MICU attending
- CCN - not ventilated but requires inotrope support, IABP or central lines in MICU under the care of cardiology service or co-managed with MICU attending
Patients that co-managed by CCU & MICU attending service at the teaching hospitals. This code applies to coronary care patients who are deemed "too sick" for the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) and are managed or co-managed in the Medical ICU because they required one or more of the following:
- ventilation
- inotropes
- central lines
- IABP
