The Critical Care database counts the laboratory tests listed in the L Labs Flowsheet Tab for every patient for their entire LOS in a unit.

Lab Collection Process

  • For every ICU patient,
    • for every qualifying laboratory test in the L_Labs Flowsheet tab in the Patient Viewer in CCMDB.mdb
      • locate the specific lab, enter the number of times the test was performed
      • if a culture is taken but the sample was inadequate to produce a result, the culture is still counted under lab counts
    • enter Platelets if received
    • enter Voluven if received
    • if a patient has no entries by the end of their stay, enter a date and leave zeros under all the labs
    • Labs (eg CTs) done on the way to the Unit e.g. from the ER, are not counted since they occur before admission to the Unit.
