ICU Var 4 is used tag patients who are parked in the ER for a period of time while being transferred between two ICUs in the city.

  • there are some profiles with unexplained gaps in time when a patient is moved from one ICU to another in the city. For some unforeseen reason, the accepting ICU did not have a bed ready. With the Statistician now linking continuous hospital admissions in the city, we needed a tag for the few cases that were held up for this reason so that these transfers would not be continually questioned when data reviewed.

Total coded to date: (This is not a very common practice - but do we have numbers Ttenbergen 11:45, 26 January 2011 (CST))

Legacy Data

Braden Score

  • Was the Braden score supposed to be tracked in here? Or was it tracked and discontinued, i.e. making it a legacy use? --Ttenbergen
    • It was proposed for Medicine but never done. The Braden assessment was suppose to be a Regional initiative on all Medicine wards in the city. We have been standing by, ready and waiting with a slot to record.....TOstryzniuk 17:59, 22 July 2008 (CDT)
