HSC Critical Care Collection Guide: Difference between revisions

Line 33:

Collectors will make an effort to assess the accuracy of admission times ASAP so that those collectors that need to coordinate times from the sending unit can see the time on the transfer tracker.We will back up during the lunch break to try to make those times available.

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. The EPR can also be a guide but at HSC it isn't always accurate and in some cases the the time in the EPR is after the patient was clearly in the unit according to the vital signs record.

==High Observation Unit==

Pts who come from H7S should have an admit from location of H4H(high observation in our data base).Since Medicine data collectors collect on this unit. H7A could be anything like D4 overflow?Can anyone from medicine tell us what it is this week?

STB CCU is used as a bed borrow sometimes post angio and then patients are sent to HSC CCU. The only way to tell if it was a bed borrow or not is to look for a nursing transfer record or check our data base's transfer tracker.
