The Critical Care database counts the laboratory tests listed in the L Labs Flowsheet Tab for every patient for their entire LOS in a unit.

HSC Data Collectors only count a subset of labs as described in the program because some of the lab test are downloaded and imported directly in master TMSX Database.

Lab Collection Process

  • For every ICU patient,
    • for every qualifying laboratory test in the L_Labs Flowsheet tab in the Patient Viewer in CCMDB.mdb
