This project is not live yet, do not follow the instructions to stop the old collection yet. I hope to have this set up to start collecting with the new instructions Oct 1. For now, continue to use the instructions in ICUotherService. Ttenbergen 14:27, 26 September 2025 (CDT)

Background

The Critical Care Program Quality Indicator Report

is that the right report? I have added this new data to that report's dependencies. If it's the wrong one it will need to be taken out of there. If other reports also use this, it will need to be added to them. If only that report you can remove this comment. Ttenbergen 15:20, 26 September 2025 (CDT)

contains information about patients who are taken care of by a critical care service other then the one that normally would have taken care of them, generally due to capacity limitations. The actual service taking care of the patient is encoded in Service tmp entry, this variable encodes which service should have taken care of a patient initially upon admission, but did not. Along with Boarding Loc and Service tmp entry, this data allows keeping track of every type of boarding (also called bed borrowing) and "double-boarding" bed-days reported.

Data Collection Instructions

• Code it as the ICU service that the patient SHOULD HAVE BEEN under upon initial admission to the ICU Service in this hospital, i.e. at the start of this record
  • Leave it blank if the very first day in ICU in that hospital, the patient was, in fact under the "correct" ICU service, i.e. the service that should have been taking care of the patient -- and as this is the majority of all ICU records, this variable will usually be left blank.

Example:

no parameters for Example template, some text may be hidden

Transfer to Another ICU Service

• This is important regarding this variable as a new ICU database record is created when a patient goes from one ICU service to another, but not if the patient goes from one ICU Boarding Loc to another while staying under the same service.

Instructions relating to coding this variable when a patient transfers from one ICU service to another

• For ICU-to-ICU transfers between hospitals (inter-facility), code this variable anew at the receiving hospital
• For ICU-to-ICU transfers within a single hospital (intra-facility), carry over the value of this variable from the prior ICU record
  • • continuation of above example: While he was in ICMS under the ICMS service he developed cardiogenic shock and emergently went for bypass surgery, after which he went to CICU under the CICU service. As he stayed in the same hospital and went ICU-to-ICU within it, the new CICU profile would begin when he went to the CICU service, the Intended1stSrvc = ACCU, as carried over from his first ICU profile at SBGH.

• We note that the ICU service that a patient should be under can change, and so simply carrying over the Intended1stSrvc from the first day in any ICU can misrepresent where the patient "should be". But we discussed and are OK with that, as such changes represent only a fraction of a fraction of patients, and trying to keep better track of what service should be on throughout their episode of ICU care is difficult and very confusing.

• Use tmp fields:
• Project: Intended1stSrvc
• Item:

How do we want to do this, we could use the currently active entries for CC in s_dispo table: HSC_IICU HSC_MICU HSC_SICU STB_ACCU STB_CICU STB_MICU or the full possible names under the CC services in S Cognos Services table that we actually use (in the last 2 months we had): Item GH Critical Care / ACSS GH Critical Care / General GH Critical Care / General ICU HSC Critical Care - MICU HSC Critical Care / A Medicine HSC Critical Care / A Non Teaching Med HSC Critical Care / D Medicine HSC Critical Care / D Non Teaching Med HSC Critical Care / General HSC Critical Care / H Medicine HSC Critical Care / H Non Teaching Med HSC Critical Care / Intermediate HSC Critical Care / Medicine HSC Critical Care / Neurosurgery HSC Critical Care / Obstetrics HSC Critical Care / Orthopedics HSC Critical Care / Otolaryngology HSC Critical Care / Plastics HSC Critical Care / Respiratory HSC Critical Care / Trauma HSC Critical Care / Vascular HSC Surgery / Neurosurgery SBGH Cardiac / Cardiac Surgery SBGH Cardiac / Crit Care Cardiology SBGH Critical Care / Acute Care Surgery SBGH Critical Care / B Service SBGH Critical Care / C Service SBGH Critical Care / Cardiac Surgery SBGH Critical Care / Crit Care Cardiology SBGH Critical Care / General SBGH Critical Care / Medicine or we could use only the part before the "/" for the CC services in S Cognos Services table: GH Critical Care HSC Critical Care / Intermediate (this wouldn't be captured without the post-/ part) HSC Critical Care (but what would actually signify SICU, or would we again still need Service/Location for that? SBGH Cardiac SBGH Critical Care SBGH Cardiac / Cardiac Surgery (this wouldn't be captured without the post-/ part) SBGH Cardiac / Crit Care Cardiology (this wouldn't be captured without the post-/ part)

Things to resolve

Things we need to resolve: We need to review anything that links to ICUotherService, and anything that page lists to. The "anything that links there" can be accessed by expanding the "related articles (expand)" at the bottom of ICUotherService. Ttenbergen 10:59, 25 September 2025 (CDT) I have reviewed the links to ICUotherService and changed what needs changing. Ttenbergen 15:05, 26 September 2025 (CDT) We need to move the change-related parts of what Allan wrote in Intended1stSrvc to 2025-05 Revision of concept around ICUotherService to keep this page on target and keep the explanation in one place. Ttenbergen 15:05, 26 September 2025 (CDT) I think I have done that, mostly, but someone should have a look at 2025-05 Revision of concept around ICUotherService to confirm that the change is explained fully enough to make sense of the before and after data Ttenbergen 23:03, 28 September 2025 (CDT).

Log

• 2025-09-25 - change of ICUotherService to this way of coding the concept was first discussed, page generated for Allan to update.
• See 2025-05 Revision of concept around ICUotherService for decisions leading up to implementation

Data Integrity Checks (automatic list)

none found

I don't think any checks are possible for this, or can someone think of one?
