Concordia Collection Guide

The log book is kept on the desk in ICU near the clerk. The clerk is responsible for filling it out. It contains enough to fill in the minimal required data set.

The "TISS" binder is kept on the rounds cart. It has all the current green sheets for the Dr's to fill out. As well, the clerks will put all the TISS sheets for discharged patients in this binder for the collector to retrieve.

Medical records is located on the main floor. Charts may be borrowed during day shifts, and must be returned by 1600 daily. There is a sign out book at the front desk for all charts borrowed. Death charts may not be signed out

Chart thinnings

ICU has binders of thinnings for long stay patients. They are kept under the rounds cart in ICU. The surgical floor generally leave ICU charting/forms in the charts. The medical floors will often thin out the ICU flow sheets. They are kept in drawers on the medical floors...just ask the clerk for them.

Special Instructions for Concordia Ortho patients

Please see When_to_code_a_patient_as_post-op#Special Instructions for Concordia Ortho patients We don't want the same information in two places because if it ever gets updated in one, the other would likely be missed. Ttenbergen 15:26, 2014 February 3 (CST)
