Change to collect TISS data in CCI Picklist
We are changing the collection and storage of TISS data to enter it directly into the CCI Picklist form.
We have not set a change date for this yet. Tentatively Dec 1, 2020. Read the instructions, and even try to enter one of these to see how that would work for collectors, just delete them before sending.
Collection instructions
First entry per day
- For every day of any item on the TISS Item List entered that item's CCI Picklist entry as Acquired Procedure. Enter the date but no time.
- If no TISS item was done for a patient, enter a line "No TISS Item" and the date but no time.
- To enter a TISS item of the same kind for the next day or unit, click the "x2" button and then the "+" for to increase the date.
Additional entries on a day
- add the time: for the second and any additional TISS CCI entries on a day, enter as Px Date the full unit start date and time as per that unit's Boarding Loc entry.
- If no TISS item was done on the second or succeeding location, enter a line "No TISS Item" with that location's Boarding Loc date for each
A patient may change locations (or units) during a day (a location (or unit) can be ER, Recovery Room, HSC MICU, HSC SICU, STB ICMS, STB ACCU, STB ICCS, GRA ICU or any boarding location). I this happens, we need to be able enter a second TISS entry and to assign the TISS entry to a specific location (or unit). This is done by entering the unit start date and time into the Px Date (this is the only reason you would add a time to this field).

Phase-out of TISS scanning process
Pagasa would scan any forms that are at least partly before the transition date. If forms later than that were scanned that would not harm anything, it would just be a waste of time. We would need to either exclude scanned data after the transition date, or write a query to delete it outright.
Implementation
- a line for each item in TISS Item List has been added to the S CCI Picklist table
To Do
When this is settled, TISS28 Collection Guide and many pages in Category:TISS28 will need to be updated. |

Background
It was decided at Task meeting that we would stop collecting TISS data on the pink sheets and instead enter it directly into CCMDB.accdb.
There are several reasons to do this:
- now that we do all the collection of this, the TISS sheets have really just become a different place where our collectors enter data; if we are doing it anyway, might as well enter straight into electronic format
- processing TISS forms relies on a complicated scanning, import and matching process; entering the data directly means we can drop that process
- eliminating the TISS forms eliminates handling of paper forms from COVID zones
- TISS items can be populated earlier and need not wait until the patient is discharged out of the hospital (as what was happening when having TISS forms) - availability of TISS data are sooner and lesser wait compared with having the TISS forms.
