Serial number

The only number assigned at the data collector level is the serial number, a number assigned manually from a consecutive sequence managed by each individual unit where data is collected. This means the serial number is unique at the unit level, but not across our data.

Special-Use Serial Numbers

Serial numbers <10 are used as test data. Serial numbers 111 to 140 were used for the Peer Audit. Template:Discussion

Serial Number Reuse

A serial number in CCMDB.mdb can be re-used once the patient record that used it has been deleted. For example, if you entered a pt twice, with separate numbers and deleted one then you can re-use the deleted number for another patient. (This would have caused problems in HanDBase/PDA, but is fine on the laptops.)

Serial numbering for STB_ICU (MICU, SICU, CCU)

• from 1999 to Nov. 24.08, serial numbering for STB was as follows:
  • SICU 1-50
  • MICU 51-70
  • CCU 71-100
• SICU/MICU combined to one unit Jan 15.07 & the new CICU was open. Serial number group sharing stopped.

Serial numbering for HSC_ICU (MICU, SICU, CCU, IICU)

• from 1999 to date serial numbering for HSC ICU is as follows:
  • MICU 1-30
  • CCU 31-50
  • SICU 51-100
  • IICU use SICU serial number if pt from SICU to IICU. Use MICU serial number if pt from MICU to IICU.

Serial numbering for STB_MED (B4, B5, E5)

• Stopped: March 2010
• Started: Sept 17, 2006 a workload redistribution assessment was done. To even out the workload for patient admissions vs EFT, the collector who is assigned to B4 is required to pick up an additional 14 patient per month from B5 and 17 patient from E5 to even out workload.
  • B5 - serial 86-100 (these additional pts are entered on B4 PDA using this serial number range for every group of 100).
  • E5 - serial numbers 1-20 (these additional pts are entered on B4 PDA using this serial number range for every group of 100).

Serial number share plan for STB-5B

• Start Date: June 1.10
• Start at: 5B Serial number 2037
• Purpose: assignment changes with redistribution
• Elaine has been assigned to E6&5B and Deb to E5. Workload distribution plan: Deb will pick up the FIRST THREE NEW admissions to 5B every month.

• from every group of 10, Deb will use numbers ending with 1,2,3 and Elaine will use numbers ending with 4,5,6,7,8,0.
• example:
  • Elaine: 2034-2040, Deb: 2041-2043
  • Elaine: 2044-2050, Deb: 2051-2053
  • Elaine: 2054-2060, Deb: 2061-2063 etc.........

Serial number share plan for HSC-H4H

• D4 (Fran) - 6 charts/month on H4H
• A4 (Con) - 6 charts/month on H4H
• H4 (Gail)- 15 chart/month on H4H
