For Medicine, see Definition of a Medicine Service admission
The definition of an "ICU patient" for the Regional ICU Database is:
- admitted under an ICU/CCU/CICU service attending physician to an ICU/CCU/CICU bed. If patient doesn't meet this definition then we don't collect data and enter into the ICU database.
For ICU patients collection starts at unit Arrive DtTm

We used to exclude short stay patients (e.g. resuscitation failed and patient died after a few minutes in ICU). As of October 24, 2011 all patients that arrive in the ICU in the process of resuscitation should be included in the database, even if they are there for a short lenght of time and subsequently pass away. This has been recommended by the Task Team and approved by p:Dr. Dan Roberts from the Steering Committee.
