LTV

The LTV field designates critical care patients on a long term ventilator (LTV).

It's stored in a field called R_Filter.

In Critical Care only, add LTV to the Filter field under the "Reg&ADL&Var" tab in the patient viewer in CCMDB.mdb if either of the following:

• currently home ventilated patient: patient is already on home/institution ventilation either on an LP 3-10 (type of portable home ventilator).
• home ventilation start: a decision has been confirmed to start patient on home ventilation during the "current" admission/
  • consult not sufficient: a consult to home ventilation service is not sufficient because some patients are turned down by the LTV Service or successfully weaned off of the ventilator. Example: C spine injury; severe COPD.

Legacy Data

For legacy reasons the actual name of the field in CCMDB_Data and centralised_data is R_Filter. 
We might want to fix that one day, but that will affect Julie's SAS and the repositories, so not now...
