Definition of a Critical Care Laptop Admission

The definition of an "ICU patient" for the Regional ICU Database is:

• A patient admitted under Critical Care service, regardless of their physical location, even if it is a Boarding Loc such as PACU or ER. If patient doesn't meet this definition then we don't collect data and enter into the ICU database.

As per Task_Team_Meeting_-_Rolling_Agenda_and_Minutes_2020#ICU_Database_Task_Group_Meeting_.E2.80.93_November_18.2C_2020 I was supposed to fix this to state that for pts in PACU, they are to be included if critical care, but not if surgery. Not sure how to integrate above... Ttenbergen 17:01, 2020 November 18 (CST)

Thanks to Steph for making me aware that Bed borrow might tell to exclude some patients who would otherwise be Critical Care admissions: if patients are brought into ICUs for procedures only, we don't collect them. Emailed her back to find out if a pt like that would still show up in the Cognos lists for either unit or service start. Ttenbergen 16:23, 2020 December 7 (CST)

Reporting

We need to ensure consistency with pages like Length of Stay (ICU Report) which rely on this definition.
