LTV

The Filter field is currently used to tag patients that are on a long term ventilator (LTV).

In Critical Care only, add LTV to the Filter field under the "Reg&ADL&Var" tab in the patient viewer in CCMDB.mdb if either of the following:

• currently home ventilated patient: patient is already on home/institution ventilation either on an LP 3-10 (type of portable home ventilator).
• home ventilation start: a decision has been confirmed to start patient on home ventilation during the "current" admission/
  • consult not sufficient: a consult to home ventilation service is not sufficient because some patients are turned down by the LTV Service or successfully weaned off of the ventilator. Example: C spine injury; severe COPD.
