Serial number sequencing for MICU/CCU will used the shared number system (using 1-50 of every group of 100).

The green log book for CCU is kept at the back desk.CCU patients are identified by green marker over the serial number on the collector's data collection log.The numbers are shared with the MICU patients using 1-50 of every group of 100.

The green log book for CCU is kept at the back desk.CCU patients are identified by green marker over the serial number on the collector's data collection log and by writing CCU in the index beside the log number.The numbers are shared with the MICU patients using 1-50 of every group of 100.The SICU data collector uses numbers 51-100 of every 100 numbers.

Generally all patients coming to MICU are medical as it is a closed unit.

A white board by the desk lists the patients. It also lists who is on the transfer list and other valuable info.

A white board by the front desk lists the patients. It also lists who is on the transfer list and other valuable info.

If a patient expires try to get the chart at the death desk if it isn't available on the unit. The death desk is on the main floor behind admitting. Once that desk is finished with the chart they will often be found in the transplant audit which is behind the main medical record desk.

Line 31:

If a MICU patient overflows into another unit, it is still MICU patient in the location. The number must be taken from the home unit log. The data is collected by the collector where the patient resides and put onto the MICU laptop. Return to the MICU is not a transfer.
