SBGH Swing Beds
Collection Instruction
Pts entered into ICCS swing beds are not entered into the database as this is only a temporary location, and is not an accurate reflection of whether or not the pt is coming to ICCS. The use of swing beds is only an entry into the computer so as to allow the unit to access the patient's EPR information.
- Swing/swap bed location entries are an example of entries that can occur at STB site when a patient is temporarily located into a bed in epr for logistical purposes. Whenever a collector encounters this erroneous entry, the best consistent approach is to do an EPR/documentation review to reconcile potential discrepancies. The applicable cognos line(s) can then be manually excluded.
STBICU Swing/swap locations are not used by ICU as they represent the time the ward clerk is made aware the patient will be coming to the unit and in no way represent the actual arrival time; basically we ignore the swing times ICU takes our arrival time directly from the ICU flow sheets
