ALERT Scale timing of assessment uses slightly different definition, but it is closer than it used to be now that we start Apache at accept rather than arrive. Can we combine? Ttenbergen 14:26, 2020 December 23 (CST)
Discussed with Allan: No, this has to remain different for ALERT and APACHE because the two are different; I need to integrate this better. And make a category or something for counterintuitive differences between Med and CC. Ttenbergen 13:32, 2021 February 22 (CST)
Choose the worst value that occurs within the 24 hours after Accept DtTm.
The worst value could be high or low, depending which gives the most points.
Does ICU start there APACHE and TISS from the ER accept time or ICU admit time. Currently we collect from the ER accept time only when the patient is boarded in the ER for greater than 2 hours. Gthomson2 10:43, 2020 October 20 (CDT)
Since Oct.15th, I have been using the 24 hour period after the accept time, which means that I am including the applicable Vitals from ER if the patient was from the ER. I wasn't at the task meeting yesterday, so I don't know if this was discussed, but this was my understanding of how we are supposed to collect apacheMlagadi 11:02, 2020 October 23 (CDT)
Gail, where does this 2 hour delay rule come from? Is there anything on wiki about it? Ttenbergen 14:49, 2020 December 23 (CST)

Iatrogenically changed values
Keep in mind the diagnosis and try not to include iatrogenically modified values, e.g. BP severely high due to inotropes or decreased LOC due to sedation.
