* clarify: does OBS mean a patient who is in the ICU for observation, or an ICU patient who has gone to obs/er?  I don't know what Obs means here, maybe someone else knows? Tina?
**As far as ICU at STB is concerned we don't use variable 1 at this time. LKolesar

* Is the OBS information used at this time? By whom and for what? --[[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 03:32, 24 July 2008 (CDT)


* If only certain locations code it, which ones? --[[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 03:32, 24 July 2008 (CDT)


* [[Overflow to other units - Critical Care HSC and STB only]] still refers to this one. Looks like usage has changed. One or both locations need to be updated. Tina.
** Not sure what you mean here?[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 15:21, 22 July 2008 (CDT)
*** Follow the link. The page refers to how var 1 may be used at those locations. Is the information on that page still accurate? If a corrected version still refers to Var1, this page should refer to it. If not, the comment is done. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 16:10, 22 July 2008 (CDT)
**** This page lists out examples of how to code overflows and includes the Co-managed CCU/MICU patients.  The Co-managed ones are LEGACY examples.  On that page how to you relegate the items with VAR 1 C to legacy examples?[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 17:26, 22 July 2008 (CDT)
***** If you mean the "overflow to other units" page lists legacy items, then that is what I mean. That page and this current article both talk about Var 1 use, so they should be the same. If there is Legacy info, it should be moved under a heading "Legacy" and added to the "Legacy Data" category. Also, we would need dates when that collection started and ended.

Hello
*I have deleted the following code from the PDA & ACCESS s_table.  (This code was for CONCORDIA patients who are looked after by ICU in the telemetry in the ER department): s_var2opt: CC CON: OBS.
*This code was available in both Var 1 and also in Var 2.  It will now only be available in Var 1.
''Betty, does this still happen in your ICU much?  To date I only have about 6 patients labeled with this code for CON.  Those that were in Var 2 we moved to Var 1 in the master database.''
*''Let me know if I should even keep this code in Var 1.''


Hi Trish,
*''This has not happened in a long time...we now have telemetry on the ward as well as in ER. Only time this ever happens, is when there is a bed crunch and we end up over census with no where else to transfer a patient. It is quite possible that it may happen again sometime.''
'''Betty (CON ICU) July 24.08'''
**''Okay, will keep in Var 1.''
Trish

ICU Var 1 is used to tag ICU patients as follows:

  • OBS - Tags an ICU patient who is in the observation unit in the ER (emergency department) while under ICU attending care.
    • example: Concordia ICU patients has frequently sent ICU patients to the telemetry unit in their ER while still under ICU attending care.
    • tag started CON July 2006. Not many tagged to date.
