We collect data on some patients who never arrive on one of our units, e.g. [[EMIP]]s, [[OVER]]s, ICU pts in PACU. ({{discussion}} any other scenarios?)

from identifying in boarding locations...
*Up to now, I have never made a profile on a PACU patient that never arrived in the ICU.  It is possible that ICU accepts a pt in PA and then the pt never actually gets to the ICU (gets better or dies), however up to now I have never made a profile for these (very very rare if ever).  Is this something you want done?  The problem is that I would not know the pt was under ICU while in PACU if they never come to the ICU.  There is nothing in our system to alert me to this.
**However, if a patient who was accepted to ICU while in PACU does come to the ICU, then a profile is done and the accept time will reflect the time the pt was accepted to ICU service.  --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 09:30, 2016 May 17 (CDT)
*How does HSC SICU do it? [[User:TOstryzniuk|Trish Ostryzniuk]] 16:58, 2016 May 17 (CDT)
*These patients are found in several ways. The SICU clerk may know about the patient and put them in the SICU log book, or they may be on the white board and be shown as in PACU or there may be a green sheet for them.  We now check EPR with a print out on Mondays, that show all admits from the last 7 days and make sure all patients have been caught.
It is possible that one or two a year are missed but we can't know about what has no documentation.--[[User:Jpeterson|Jpeterson]] 07:39, 2016 May 18 (CDT)
