Discussion

Template:Potential Change QI TEAM, Kendiss Olafson etc. have asked if database team could collect ACP ststus at admission.Trish Ostryzniuk 17:12, 2015 May 29 (CDT)

• ACP C
• ACP UK (no documented ACP on the chart)
• ACP R
• ACP M+ (no cardiac recuss but accepting intubation)
• ACP M- (no recuss/no intubation)
  • (If ACP M is just written with no qualifiers then one would classify as ACP M-. Since a significant proportion of patient do want intubation but do not want CPR, I do think it is useful to distinguish). Kendiss.

• Collecting ACP status at admission and discharge would allow us to follow:
  • -% of patient with documented ACP during ICU
  • -Level of care at both admission and discharge
  • -% of patients with change in level of care during ICU
  • -Level of care at the time of ICU death

question for collectors

Template:Discussion is this east info to get at admission?--Trish Ostryzniuk 17:12, 2015 May 29 (CDT)

• • Yes, it easy to obtain this information at the time of admission, it is 9/10 that ACP is established in ER. Do you want us to collect when a change occurs ( often pt come in as a M and 24-72 hrs later, it is changed to APC -C ,or this occurs much later in the admission as well)--PStein 08:23, 2015 June 1 (CDT)

• • • yes, at GGH ICU this is easy to obtain, I agree with Pat the ACP status often changes several times during an admission, do you want to capture these changes? or just ACP at admission and discharge? Is this ICU only? or medicine as well? Lisa Kaita 11:09, 2015 June 1 (CDT)

• • • • Yes it is usually on the chart. Is this going to be just for ICUs. Lois
