ICU Var 1 is used to tag ICU patients as follows:

  • OBS - Tags an ICU patient who is in the observation unit in the ER (emergency department) while under ICU attending care.
    • example: Concordia ICU patients has frequently sent ICU patients to the telemetry unit in their ER while still under ICU attending care.
    • tag started CON July 2006. Not many tagged to date.

Discussion

I reverted the deletion of the discussion section because. I suspect it was inadvertent since several of the issues have not been addressed in the article yet.

  • Is the OBS information used at this time? By whom and for what? E.g. does it go into one of the reports? Which one? --Ttenbergen 03:32, 24 July 2008 (CDT)
  • If only certain locations code it, which ones? --Ttenbergen 03:32, 24 July 2008 (CDT)
  • Overflow to other units - Critical Care HSC and STB only still refers to this one. Looks like usage has changed. One or both locations need to be updated. Tina.
    • Not sure what you mean here?TOstryzniuk 15:21, 22 July 2008 (CDT)
      • Follow the link. The page refers to how var 1 may be used at those locations. Is the information on that page still accurate? If a corrected version still refers to Var1, this page should refer to it. If not, the comment is done. Ttenbergen 16:10, 22 July 2008 (CDT)
        • This page lists out examples of how to code overflows and includes the Co-managed CCU/MICU patients. The Co-managed ones are LEGACY examples. On that page how to you relegate the items with VAR 1 C to legacy examples?TOstryzniuk 17:26, 22 July 2008 (CDT)
          • If you mean the "overflow to other units" page lists legacy items, then that is what I mean. That page and this current article both talk about Var 1 use, so they should be the same. If there is Legacy info, it should be moved under a heading "Legacy" and added to the "Legacy Data" category. Also, we would need dates when that collection started and ended.
