== Transfer times MICU/CCU ==
{{discussion}} is this relevant only to MICU/CCU, or to Med collectors or STB CCU collectors as well? Want to make sure it's in the right place. Ttenbergen 15:02, 2015 May 20 (CDT)
To determine transfer times the first set of vital signs is the guide. Medicine collectors at HSC can find the transfer time by looking at the first set of vital signs in MICU. Unless there is a clearly documented time elsewhere in the chart the ward transfer time is usually 10 minutes prior to first set of vitals. It is a rare occurrence that those vital signs are not done. Collectors do need to be careful as there can be many pages of flowsheets for one day.The old addendum sheets are not supposed to be used but I will also occasionally see an addendum sheet.
