IICU

Sept 12.12 - transfer ready delay to the IICU will be reported separately and not included Template:Discussion in any report? In some reports? Ttenbergen 15:59, 2014 May 19 (CDT) in the general transfer delay to wards from ICU. This includes transfer delay to H6 LTV unit. As per Dr. Garland & Dr. Paunovic.-Trish Ostryzniuk 14:18, 2012 September 13 (CDT)

• For IICU - waiting time for IICU only starts when IICU attending physician has deemed the patient a candidate. IICU consults (patients) cannot wait to be seen until IICU has a bed available.Trish Ostryzniuk 14:53, 2012 September 13 (CDT)as per Dr. Bojan Paunovic.
  • I moved this here from Transfer Ready date and time because I remembered that the IICU reporting was documented here. I am not sure this is collectable as instructed. If a patient is transfer ready according to usual definition, and at a later time dr approves him for IICU, then do you really want to lose the original transfer ready date/time? I think the problem is trying to use the transfer ready date to gain some information about IICU when that is really a different concept. If we want this information we should consider collecting it in, e.g. a tmp entry. Ttenbergen 21:49, 2014 February 26 (CST) Template:Discussion

Calculation when transfer time missing

For Critical Care if discharge time  < 1000 HR then dummy=0001 HR (12:01 am) ,
                      else if discharge time  >=  1000 HR dummy=1000HR  (10:00 am)
               This is based on Critical Care Vital Monitor rule.

For Medicine, if discharge time  < 1200 HR then dummy=0001 HR (12:01 am) ,
                      else if discharge time  >=  1200 HR dummy=1200HR  (12:00 noon)
               This is as per approval by  Dr. Roberts .
