Discussion
- clarify: does OBS mean a patient who is in the ICU for observation, or an ICU patient who has gone to obs/er? I don't know what Obs means here, maybe someone else knows.As far as ICU at STB is concerned we don't use variable 1 at this time. LKolesar
- Overflow to other units - Critical Care HSC and STB only still refers to this one. Looks like usage has changed. One or both locations need to be updated.
