ICU Var 4 is used tag patients who are parked in the ER for a period of time while being transferred between two ICUs in the city.
- there are some profiles with unexplained gaps in time when a patient is moved from one ICU to another in the city. For some unforeseen reason, the accepting ICU did not have a bed ready. With the Statistician now linking continuous hospital admissions in the city, we needed a tag for the few cases that were held up for this reason so that these transfers would not be continually questioned when data reviewed.
Are collectors using this?
Total of 5 entries only, last one used in 2011. Do these delays not happen or are collectors unaware of the field? We are planning to start using it in our data quality work at the main office. Ttenbergen 09:21, 2014 October 1 (CDT) Template:Discussion

Data Structure
See Category:Variable_codes_1_to_6 for details
Legacy Data
Braden Score
- Was the Braden score supposed to be tracked in here? Or was it tracked and discontinued, i.e. making it a legacy use? --Ttenbergen
- It was proposed for Medicine but never done. The Braden assessment was suppose to be a Regional initiative on all Medicine wards in the city. We have been standing by, ready and waiting with a slot to record.....TOstryzniuk 17:59, 22 July 2008 (CDT)
MS?
There is one entry "MS" (HSC_MICU-30147). What is that? If unknown, we should clean it out... Template:Discussion Ttenbergen 09:21, 2014 October 1 (CDT)
