Collection of TISS data in CCI Picklist

This page explains how to collect TISS28 in CCI. TISS28 Collection Guide provides additional info how it has been collected or is being processed.

Collection instructions

• Collect any item on the TISS Item List as a CCI Collection Mode CCI collect each day.
• TISS is to be done for a patients entire time of Definition of a Critical Care Program Admission

You can filter the Patient Viewer Tab CCI_Pick for only TISS entries using the "TISS" button in the bottom left corner.

The easiest way to enter a new TISS item is to use the corresponding button in the row of numbered buttons on the bottom of the screen. If you can't remember the item numbers, then (a) hovering over the button will give you the descriptions or (b) you can click on the wiki link just to the left of the numbered buttons to open the wiki page TISS Item List.

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. Keep Px_Count=1.
• 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

• for the second boarding Loc add the time to any additional TISS entries on a day, enter as Px Date the full unit start date and time as per that unit's Boarding Loc entry.
• If there are no TISS items on the second or succeeding location, enter a line "No TISS Item" with that location's Boarding Loc date and time
  • Time is needed to connect this TISS entry with a specific unit; without the time entry it would be impossible to tell which of two TISS entries for a day goes with which unit.

A patient may have several boarding Loc that occur on the same day (a location or unit can be ER, Recovery Room, HSC MICU, HSC SICU, HSC IICU, STB ICMS, STB ACCU, STB ICCS, GRA ICU or any boarding location). If 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).

EXCEPTION: If there is a boarding Loc change and the patient remains under the same service and the boarding Loc is staffed by the same unit (i.e. case at HSC MICU on locations JKL3, JJ3, PICU, GA7 and at GRA ICU or PACU) , then there is no need for a second TISS entry with time.
