From CCMDB Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Change Date: 2014-Dec-18

  • ICU Var 1 is used track the specific ward a patient was admitted from within the same center. If a patient is admitted from a ward outside your hospital, leave Var 1 blank.

Possible values are listed in the dropdown box in the CCMDB.mdb, which is driven by the S varOptions table.

The statistician uses this variable to detect patients with a continuous hospital stay.

If the specific ward you are admitting from is not available on this list use "OTH". Please also note down the ward that was missing on this page.

MAP

Tina and Pagasa will purge; Pagasa to set time. Ttenbergen 16:56, 2014 December 17 (CST)

  • "MAP" would have been entered into Var 2 for those ICU patients with an myocardial infarction (MI) who have been put on the MI Care Map
    • started November 2004
    • ended 2010-Oct-29
  • when this was used if both BRR and MAP were used coding BRR took precedence over MAP.

Lead-up to this becoming legacy

  • CCU MAP in this variable is likely unnecessary as all patient who have an acute MI are automatically put on the acute MI care map.--LKolesar 11:34, 18 June 2008 (CDT)
    • in 2004/05 when MI care MAP was first introduced, Betty Lou Rock wanted to track if it was being applied at all sites consistently. It has been discussed that at some sites, the MI care map is not applied consistently. Need to follow this up with the Database Steering Committee and see if they would like us to stop tagging MAP and relegate the code to the legacy category.

  • Another thing that I believe could be eliminated is acute care map in variable 2. Betty Lou had mentioned in a meeting a few years ago that this was no longer necessary. All patient who have acute MI are on the care map. This is just an unnecessary piece of data to add. --LKolesar 14:52, 27 October 2010 (CDT)--
