Discussion
- Collectors, when a patient is admitted to your ICU with the primary reason being "cardioversion" for atrial fib do you include them as an ICU admission? These are short stay patients 1-2 hrs that come from ER, home, ward to ICU for cardioversion and get sent back to ER, home or ward. Not admitted under ICU attending?TOstryzniuk 17:31, 20 August 2009 (CDT)
- we are still finding a number of overlapping admissions. An overlap is a patient who is occupying 2 beds, one in medicine and one in ICU during the same time period.TOstryzniuk 17:31, 20 August 2009 (CDT)
- So far I have been counting cardioversions as admissions. This is because they are admitted under CCU doctors and require significant resources.
I don't count patients that come for heart cath that we babysit for a short time. If you want to change this, please let me know.--LKolesar 12:10, 21 August 2009 (CDT)
