* We need a level for '''PACU/Recovery'''; with our new scheme, someone could conceptually be ready for a lower level of care than PACU but be stuck there. C I think that level would be same as ICU. Thoughts? Might be a question for Allan. For now I am setting this the PACUs as a level same as ICU; if OK please update this page accordingly, if needs discussion, please make it happen.

* We need a level for '''ER'''; with our new scheme, someone could conceptually be ready for a lower level of care than ER but be stuck there. Certainly for GRA who uses it for ICU. I think that level would be between ICU and IICU. Thoughts? Might be a question for Allan. For now I am setting this ER as a level between ICU and IICU; if OK please update this page accordingly, if needs discussion, please make it happen. Ttenbergen 19:18, 2020 October 15 (CDT) }}

=== Special case - ER, OR and PACU ===
These are considered the highest level of care collected by that program. So,
* for a medicine patient on a med laptop, an ER/OR/PACU location is considered the same level of care as a HOBS unit
* for a critical care patient on a cc laptop, an ER/OR/PACU location is considered the same level of care as an MICU/SICU
