TISS28 Legacy Guide for Paper Form Collection
This pages explains how TISS28 is coded on File:TISS28 Form.pdfs by local nursing staff / data collectors. See TISS Item List for the list of things that are collected.
Collection instructions
- every TISS Page should have <your site>_CC in the Unit field
- this used to be the specific unit but that changed with PatientFollow Project
- every TISS page should have the numeric part of your Laptop identifier entered on the Page field at the top of the form
- Items 1 to 45 (except 11 & 39) - mark if the activity occurred any time during that calendar date
- Items 11 & 39 - mark if activity occurred with in last 24 hrs
- Answer each item separately; don't worry about apparent conflicts or overlaps between items
- A calendar day starts at 0001 hrs and ends at 2400 hrs
- If a patient is in the ICU a very short time, a TISS score is required to reflect nursing efforts during this time.

- Do not sent TISS form to the ward with the chart. Please hand it in to the Unit Clerk who will file it in the Research Forms binder at the front desk.
- Once a page of TISS is completed, hand in the completed form to the Unit Clerk and start a new form. Please do not staple together. The scanning of the forms are affected if stapled.
- TISS is to be done for a patients entire length of stay in ICU.
- If a patient is transferred to another ICU, do not sent the form to the other unit or hospital. A new form is started when patient admitted to your ICU.

- If a patient is transferred to another ICU in your center and the Service looking after the patient changes, then a new TISS form is required. E.G., a patient who goes from MICU under Medical Service and is transferred to SICU under Surgical service.

As of Oct.15th, we are now supposed to collect TISS from the accept time. This means that the ER part of the patient's stay will also have to be entered on the TISS. Should we be filling out a separate TISS for this part of the stay, and marking "ER" as the unit, or should we be using the TISS form that has been started in the ICU, and adding any applicable items that occurred in the ER on the corresponding ICU day? The most common occurrence I can think of is a patient getting intubated in the ER vs the ICU. Does the program want to differentiate where this event occurred? What if the transfer happened after the calendar day? For example the patient was in the ER the previous evening, but got transferred to ICU after midnight.Mlagadi 12:09, 2020 October 21 (CDT) |
