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.

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)

  • In email response Steph doubted these procedure pts would show up in the Cognos reports because the service does not change to ICU for them, and that would be right. If everyone else agrees then we should just add a statement to this page to explicitly exclude them, and link to Bed borrow for more details. Ttenbergen 23:19, 2020 December 7 (CST)
