Definition
- Intra facility transfer
- when a patient admitted in one ICU of a facility and then transferred to another ICU of the same facility.
- when a patient coming from a non_ICU service (e.g. ER, Medicine Ward, Other ward, etc.) of a facility and then admitted to an ICU of the same facility.
- Inter facility transfer
- when a patient admitted in one ICU of a facility and then transferred to another ICU of different facility for a continuing level of care. If patient has a procedure (e.g. in OR or in Recovery or Cath Lab or Dialysis Unit, etc.) in between the two ICU admissions more than 24 hours, the two ICU admissions will not be considered as one ICU episode. In order to determine direct transfer from another ICU for a continuous level of care, the Dispo field of the first ICU must be consistent with the fields Pre-admit Inpatient Institution and/or Previous Location of the next ICU.
- when a patient coming from a non_ICU service (e.g. ER, Medicine Ward, Other ward, etc.) of one facility and then admitted to an ICU of another facility.
