HSC Critical Care Collection Guide: Difference between revisions

Line 25:

This is a big problem at HSC. Patients are transferred to different areas often and the chart doesn't follow the patient in many cases. Notify the ward clerk of the unit the patient is located that part of the chart is missing. If it is still missing after the clerk has attempted to locate it then ask for the clerk to call medical records for any recent volumes. In some cases the chart has gone down to med records in error instead of following the patient.

Patients transfered to RR5 get the whole chart sent to medical records to sorted and bound and then returned to that ward.If your patient gets transferred to RR5 you may have to wait until the bound volume returns.

==TISS forms==

Hand them in to the office as soon as they are full and checked. Leave a note in the note section that defines which pages are handed in. We do not wait until the file is complete to hand in TISS forms.

==Missing TISS forms==

This appears to happen mainly in SICU. Collectors will try to make staff more aware of not sending the form to the wards. Trish has agreed to talk to the managers at one of the meetings.
