CCI would allow for the collection of most things we currently collect as counted labs (Category:Manually_collected_labs).

Should counted labs move to CCI?

  • SMW


  • Cargo


  • Categories

Pros of moving to CCI

  • Consistent storage of information, i.e. stored with all other procedures
  • more detail (e.g. do we mostly do a lab at admission, or right through stay?)

Cons of moving to CCI

time consuming

  • It is much simpler and faster to count the number of CXR's, ABGs, and other tests in our lab counts than to put a CCI entry for each every day they are done. Also, anything that is currently on the tiss sheet should not have to be included in CCI at least for ICU. For example, CRRT and IHD is clearly marked on the tiss and which days are clearly shown. To have to enter in CCI all tests and procedures every single day they are done is not feasible within the time constraints of our EFT's in my opinion.--LKolesar 08:12, 2018 January 31 (CST)
  • Laura did a test collection and found this to be much slower. Trish will coordinate more testing for this. Ttenbergen 12:52, 2018 May 9 (CDT)

losing some detail

  • If we move lab counts to CCI we would likely lose the distinction between 5% and 25% in FFP. See discussion at that page. Ttenbergen 21:20, 2018 March 20 (CDT)
