The log book is kept on the desk in ICU near the clerk. The clerk is responsible for filling it out. It contains enough to fill in the minimal required data set.
The "TISS" binder is kept on the rounds cart. It has all the current green sheets for the Dr's to fill out. As well, the clerks will put all the TISS sheets for discharged patients in this binder for the collector to retrieve. Extra TISS and green sheets are kept in the filing cabinet shared by PACU and MICU.
Medical records is located on the ground floor. Rhonda at the main desk will retrieve charts at the time that they are requested by providing the name of the patient, their MRN and their date of discharge from the hospital/ICU. Charts must be signed out in the Medical Records log book located on the main counter. In the Log book one enters the date, MRN of chart reviewed, name of data collector, Dept. or reason for review and then dates and initials when the chart is returned. Charts can not be taken out of the department. There are three cubicles in Medical Records which data collectors may use to review charts. Two of the cubicles have computers for accessing labs and diagnostic imaging on EPR gateway. Unassembled charts are returned to Sandra Lopez's desk which is adjacent to the three cubcles. Assembled charts are returned to the cart at the entrance of Medical Records. Death charts are returned to Kim at the death desk behind Rhonda's desk.
Chart thinnings
ICU has binders of thinnings for long stay patients. They are kept on the rounds cart in ICU. Old charts are kept on the rounds cart. The surgical floor generally leave ICU charting/forms in the charts. The medical floors will often thin out the ICU flow sheets. They are kept in drawers on the medical floors...just ask the clerk for them.Occasionally chart thinnings are sent to medical records even though the patient is still an inpatient. They are not sent back up to the wards and in that case you may need to look at the thinnings in medical records.
Green sheets and Tiss sheets
Extra green sheets and TISS sheets are kept in the shared file cabinet between ICU and PACU
