== Overflows in MSICU and ICCS ==

**As of October 1, 2010 CCU collectors do not collect data on CCU pts that are located in MICU or ICCS. Instead these pts are put as MICU or CICU location with cardiac type. If the pt care is transferred to the MICU attending, the profile will be restarted and it will be a medical type, instead of cardiac type. This is done by the MICU or CICU data collectors.

Legacy prior to October 1, 2010: MSICU and ICCS can also have CCU patients as CCU overflows. They will often be located in one of these areas if they require intubation and /or IABP. However, they are still attended by the CCU doctors and the CCU data collector must enter them as a CCU patient. They usually remain under CCU unless further multi system issues exist that the CCU attending wishes to transfer the care to the ICU. In this case the patient is discharged from CCU and admitted to the ICU and the ICU data collector will then start a profile and continue to follow this patient. (insure that the respective [[TISS]] sheet follows the patient as they are moved between units if they continue to be a CCU pt.) Make sure the overflow is marked in the variable 5 slot.
