ICU ATD log

Grace MICU does not use the standard Admission/Transfer/Discharge Log. Admissions/Discharges are logged into a Ledger book located to the side of the Ward Clerk's desk. Admit from location, patient name, age (not DOB), admit/transfer/discharge date and time, and MRN are manually entered into the ledger. This ledger is used to keep track of in-house Code Blues, ventilator hours etc.. At the start of a new month, all patients still admitted in the ICU are carried forward in the ledger. Their names, date of admission, MRN, etc. are re-entered on the top of the first page of this new month. Carried over entries are assigned a letter in alphabetical order ( A., B., C, etc.). All new admissons are assigned a number, starting at one (1) for the first admission of each month.

=Charts, TISS and Green Sheets

TISS sheets are kept on the nurses' bedside clipboard. When the pt is discharged or when the TISS sheet is full it is placed in the front of the "TISS/Green sheet binder" located on the rounds cart.

• When patients are discharged the green sheets are placed in the front of the TISS/Green sheet binder.
• Thinned charts and old charts are kept on the lower shelf of the rounds cart.
• The patient's chart is kept in a chart holder at the foot of their bed.
