*** So just to clarify Tina you dont want us to collect Allied Health Consults from a ward we are not collecting on for example S2 (WE DONT COLLECT FROM S2 )comes to S4/S5/N5 they started the consult on S2 and continue with them on S4S5N5 We dont enter the consults Correct? Also does this apply to pts coming from Vic ICU the consults start there and cont to the wards? Is this not the same situation as a pt coming from emerg? Thanks Please let us know . | *** So just to clarify Tina you dont want us to collect Allied Health Consults from a ward we are not collecting on for example S2 (WE DONT COLLECT FROM S2 )comes to S4/S5/N5 they started the consult on S2 and continue with them on S4S5N5 We dont enter the consults Correct?

**** Only collect Allied Health consults generated on your ward on in ER immediately prior to admission. As the instructions said. I am really curious - are the instructions still unclear, or is it more a case of you collectors being concerned that the instructions are not what you would like them to be? We are aware that this will exclude total workload generated for Allied Health, but we just want to know workload generated by "our" wards. Further, we want to use this to generate a baseline, and then to see the change in that baseline performance once we change something. So, even if the baseline doesn't include all cases, the ''change'' in numbers compared to the baseline will still tell us what we want to know. Does that help?

*if one of the allied health teams is consulted but the pt is discharged prior to being seen or the consult is never completed, should it be entered? | |||

If a consult is generated because a patient is put on a care map (e.g. ACS caremap), '''do code'' those allied health consults, because if a consult is generated, it will affect Allied Health workload and availability. | If a consult is generated because a patient is put on a care map (e.g. ACS caremap), '''do code'' those allied health consults, because if a consult is generated, it will affect Allied Health workload and availability. | ||
