==Reporting of VAP when patients move units==

When the Statistician links admissions in the database between ICU'a & medicine wards in the city, those patient that have VAP in admitting diagnosis are excluded from complication statistics. The patient encounter that had the VAP coded in the '''acquired diagnosis''' slot is the unit that is given credit for the '''complication''' occuring in that unit.

== Data Consistency Checks ==

*VAP is recorded as a complication in a specific unit, yet in tmpV2 the date when positive culture sent is before that ICU admission or after that ICU admission.

** By VAP definition, patient should be ventilated 48 hours, so the VAP date should not be equal the ICU admission. [[User:JMojica|JMojica]] 15:19, 2 May 2011 (CDT)

*Not sure if you can easily add any of these checks in ACCESS to reduce laundry duties back here at the ranch.--[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 15:57, 25 March 2010 (CDT)
