STB Cardiac Care patients: Difference between revisions

**This had been implemented as [[CCU Service Tracking]] and Julie will go back to January, 2015 to change all pts to this format.  --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 10:14, 2015 June 9 (CDT)

As of October 1, 2010 CCU collectors do not collect data on CCU (Cardiology) pts that are located in MICU or ICCS.  Instead these pts are put as MICU or CICU location with cardiac type.  The MICU or CICU collector is responsible for these patient profiles.  If the pt care is transferred to the MICU attending, the profile will be restarted and it will be a medical type, instead of cardiac type.  .  Must remember to start a new tiss if the patient is transferred to the MICU physician's care.  The first profile is logged out to MICU and the new profile is logged into MICU even though in both cases the location is MICU.  This scenario happens rarely as usually Cardiology service looks after their patients while they are in MICU or CICU.

* prior to October 1, 2010:  MSICU and ICCS had CCU patients as CCU overflows.  They would often be located in one of these areas if they require intubation and /or IABP.  However, they were still attended by the CCU doctors and the CCU data collector entered them as a CCU patient.  They usually remained under CCU unless further multi system issues exist that the CCU attending wished to transfer the care to the ICU.  In this case the patient is discharged from CCU and admitted to the ICU and the ICU data collector then would start a profile and continue to follow this patient.  The respective [[TISS]] sheet followed the patient as they are moved between units if they continued to be a CCU pt.)  The overflow was marked in the variable 5 slot.
