QI TEAM, Kendiss Olafson etc. have asked if database team could collect ACP ststus at admission.

• ACP C
• ACP UK (no documented ACP on the chart)
• ACP R
• ACP M+ (no cardiac recuss but accepting intubation)
• ACP M- (no recuss/no intubation)
  • (If ACP M is just written with no qualifiers then one would classify as ACP M-. Since a significant proportion of patient do want intubation but do not want CPR, I do think it is useful to distinguish). Kendiss.

• Collecting ACP status at admission and discharge would allow us to follow:
  • -% of patient with documented ACP during ICU
  • -Level of care at both admission and discharge
  • -% of patients with change in level of care during ICU
  • -Level of care at the time of ICU death
