Definition of a Critical Care Laptop Admission

The definition of an "ICU patient" for the Regional ICU Database is:

• admitted under Critical Care service attending physician, regardless of their physical location, even if it is a Boarding Loc such as PACU or ER. If patient doesn't meet this definition then we don't collect data and enter into the ICU database.

We need to ensure consistency with pages like Length of Stay (ICU Report) which rely on this definition.
