Comments

| HSC MICU
|
|
√
|
|
|
- The green sheets are usually filled in for HSC MICU.
- I always read them and they help with coding.
- I find them useful.
|
| HSC CCU
|
|
|
√
|
|
- The green sheets are not filled out in HSC CCU as often as MICU
|
| HSC SICU
|
|
√
|
|
|
- The green sheets for SICU are consistently filled in by most physicians and not by certain others.
- I do review them, especially to ensure I have understood some confusing diagnoses
|
| HSC IICU
|
|
|
|
√
|
- The green sheets are not filled in well for HSC IICU and they are often lost as they are sent with the chart to medical records
|
| STB MICU
|
|
|
√
|
|
- At times I refer to it only if the diagnosis is unclear.
- The green sheets are only filled out by certain attendings and most of the time it is a waste of paper because everything can be derived from the chart
|
| STB CICU
|
|
|
√
|
|
- I find the green sheets are poorly filled out.
- Probably about one quarter are not filled out. The information I want which is the complications is never filled out
|
| STB CCU
|
|
|
|
√
|
- The Green sheets are mostly blank in my unit.
- I don't rely on these sheet for any of my documentation due to poor compliance from the CCU Drs
|
| OAK MICU
|
|
√
|
|
|
- Depending on how well they are completed determines how useful they are to me.
- If thorough, I find them very helpful for coding as I am not always able to speak to the attending due to my part time status
|
| VIC MICU
|
|
√
|
|
|
- I refer to green sheets and consider the information valuable to the data collection process provided the form has been completed.

√

|
- MD's usually fill in the Green sheets.
- I find that many of the comorbids found on the chart are not on the green sheet.
- The "final diagnosis" is often written on the first day or two of the pt's admission.
- If the diagnosis changes after further diagnostics; I find that the final diagnosis is not updated/corrected/changed to reflect this.
- Most complications are filled in but all are found on the chart.
- I do review the green sheets and find them only somewhat useful
