Chart thinnings

ICU has binders of thinnings for long stay patients. They are kept in brown cupboard beside the rounds cart in ICU. Old charts are kept in same cupboard. The surgical floor generally leave ICU charting/forms in the charts. The medical floors will often thin out the ICU flow sheets. They are kept in drawers on the medical floors...just ask the clerk for them.Occasionally chart thinnings are sent to medical records even though the patient is still an inpatient. They are not sent back up to the wards and in that case you may need to look at the thinnings in medical records.

Green sheets and Tiss sheets

Extra green sheets and TISS sheets are kept in the shared file cabinet between ICU and PACU
