ICU Var 6 - AMA: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:30, 23 July 2008

ICU Var 6 has various uses.

Possible Value:

P - Pre-booked ICU bed. (tag start date: Mar 1/99 GRACE)
S - Study patient. Any patient enrolled in an ICU study. (tag started: July 1999)
- Primary reason to use this tag was to ID those patients that had more than average blood test done during their ICU admission. A number of patients in clinical trials had agreed to additional lab tests for monitoring. This use to affect the average lab test stats, so we tagged them as "S" and had the option to exclude if study is reason to be an outlier.

H - Held bed : While patient admitted post procedure in an other ICU. (Tag started at the GRA in 2002. Tag not used much)

What if several apply? --Ttenbergen
Are any more of these discontinued? Do we have further start/end dates? --Ttenbergen
Is there any Legacy data? If so, edit and uncomment the following: --Ttenbergen
Does anyone use the study patient in this variable? Does anyone use this data?--LKolesar 12:50, 8 May 2008 (CDT)
- No. Should be relegated to legacy and taken out of drop down lists in PDA and ACCESS.TOstryzniuk 18:27, 22 July 2008 (CDT)
