Lab Collection Process
Note: See Labs for more general info on the labs data.
The Critical Care database counts the laboratory tests listed at S_AllLabs for every patient for their entire LOS in a unit. Different collection of labs is collected at HSC than elsewhere. Some lab data at HSC is imported directly.
Lab Collection Process
- For every ICU patient,
- for every laboratory test on S_AllLabs
- locate the specific lab,
- enter the number of times the test was performed
- if a patient has no labs by the end of their stay:
- for every laboratory test on S_AllLabs
enter a date and leave zeros under all the labs.
- if a culture is taken but the sample was inadequate to produce a result, the culture is still counted under lab counts.
