Program: Med
Requestor: Dan Roberts
Collection start: 2024-12-02
Collection end: somewhere between 100 records and 3 months

Data Collection

  • For any medicine record being sent after the project start date, capture whether there were any allied health consults, the reason for the consult does not matter.
  • Some patients may have more than one consult for the same allied health professional during their hospital stay, record each time there is a new consult for any of the 6 allied health professions. We do not need to collect when they are discharged by an allied health profession.
  • We only want new consults that are generated by the medicine team. If they are transferred in from ICU or another ward or from ER, where they are already being followed by an allied health professional, only enter yes if the medicine team generates a new consult
  • self-consults by any allied health professional should be captured as a new consult
  • Verbal consults will not have an order or consult written, if when reviewing a chart there is a note by an allied health professional and no associated consult/order enter that as yes and note the dttm of the first documentation
  • If there is an order to consult one of the AHC professionals, and it is later cancelled (doesn't matter how long after the order) then please capture the consult

Data Entry Instructions

The following lines will automatically be added to each new medicine record, existing records entered prior to the start date of the project will need to have these entered manually:

    • "no" - if you have finished the chart and didn't find one
  • Date: date of the consult if available, if consult not in chart but there is clear documentation in the chart use the dttm of the first note/assessment (best guess better than nothing but not mandatory)

Sources

  • SBGH in EPR - check for consults in the orders tab, there will also be documentation in the documents section by the various allied health teams, if they have been consulted
  • HSC and GGH - check for an order and also the consult sections of the chart, there will also be documentation in the notes section by the various allied health team, if they have been consulted

Consult not required for...

  • we don't track consults for pharmacy
  • we don't track utilization consults

Special Case - Consult before admission or after discharge from medicine

  • Only enter yes, if the medicine team writes a new order to consult one of the allied health team.
    • OT said that if one of the OT members is consulted in ICU, or another ward, or ER, they do not re-consult, they give an OT to OT report - don't enter that
    • OT also said sometimes the medicine team will write a new consult, but that it isn't necessary if they are already following, they will however write a "transfer" note. she was uncertain if all other allied health teams practice the same way. Many of the consults are verbal. - you would enter a re-consult written as that

Special Case - Consult ordered and cancelled

  • enter the consult
