ICU Var 5 is used to tag those patients that "overflow" onto other ICU units while under the care of a specific ICU service.

  • Because some patients "overflow" to more than one unit during their ICU stay, ICU Var 3 is also used for this purpose.
  • Used at HSC and STB
  • this tag was introduced in the early 1990's as requested by Dr. Perry Gray.
  • he used this information to monitor bed numbers for a specific ICU service and also review the frequency of patient movement to accommodate increased volume for that service.
  • for EXAMPLES of how to code see: Overflow to other units - Critical Care HSC and STB only


Possible Values:

  • CM = cardiac patient into MICU – under ccu service care.
  • SM = surgical patient into MICU – under micu service care.
  • MV = MICU pt overflow into CICU - under micu service care.
  • SV = SICU pt overflow into CICU — under sicu service care.
  • CV = CCU pt overflow into CICU — under ccu service care.
  • MS = medical patient into SICU – under micu service care.
  • CS = cardiac patient into SICU – under ccu service care.
