Revision as of 13:06, 2008 August 26
The Critical Care program collects a count of a list (S_AllLabs) of labs performed.
Some time ago, the count was done on the Lab_Collection_Form.
The data is now stored in the L_Labs tables on the PDA and in the CCMDB.mdb. There are two separate tables for labs. One is for HSC ICU's only the other lab table is for all other ICU's in the city. The reason for this is that HSC downloads lab from the Hospital computer system and at other sites this is not done.......yet.
At HSC labs (for Critical Care and Medicine) are downloaded. For more info see Lab Downloading at HSC.
Lab collection process - tallying lab tests. For more information see Lab Collection Process.
Data Integrity Rules, a.k.a TISS / Pharm corellation
The following items on your pharmacy form should be confirmed against the corresponding items on the TISS:
- ABGs - items 57 and 58
Limited number of labs
Only 24 labs can actually be sent in. You can collect as many as you want, but only those with the highest priority will actually be sent.
Which labs should be given preference
On the rare occasion more than 24 different labs are performed on a patient.
Since we cross-check labs against the TISS, all the labs that are referenced on the TISS need to be sent.
As for the rest, the labs are collected mostly for a cost estimate, so the most expensive ones are of most interest to us. Apparently a request for up-to-date lab costs has been in to the lab people for some time, but there are difficulties in getting an answer. Once we have updated costs, we would actually change the CCMDB.mdb so it would pick the most important labs automatically based on cost, much like we are now doing for comorbids.
