HSC MICU Collection Guide
This article contains collection information specific to the IICU at HSC.
Please make sure you document information at the most general level that is applicable, i.e. don't code something that affects all collection at HSC in the program or unit level articles.
See the following for more general information:
Ward contacts
Collector "base"
Collectors seem to usually hang out in a little nook behind the main desk.
Location of patient chart components
The unit is divided into 2 sections:
- front: beds 1-10
- back: beds 11-20
There are two main desks, front and back. The completed TISS sheets and green sheets are kept in a white binder at each desk. The TISS sheets still in progress are on a clipboard at each desk. Test information is kept for 5 days and then the collector can discard into confidential waste.
There is a black log book for all MICU patients kept at the front desk. Do not change the numbers as the unit keeps their own data on patients and the numbers collectors use are different.
A white board by the front desk lists the patients. It also lists who is on the transfer list and other valuable info.
Green Sheets for patients currently in the unit are kept on the rounds table. The clerks stamp them for all new patients, but occasionally one gets missed. After your pt file is complete the green sheets can be discarded into confidential waste. We no longer hand these in to the main office.
The ward clerks will order the TISS and green sheets if you ask them. Monitor to see if they are getting low.

I have spoken to the clerks in MICU and they do order their own TISS forms and Green Sheets. Is it not possible to have SICU and IICU order their own as well? --Jvelasco 11:57, 2020 February 28 (CST)
