Patient exclusions
Post-Angio
We do not enter patients into the database when the cath lab is recovering patients there (borrowing a bed). These pts are only in ACCU for post procedure care after an angio they send the patients to ACCU for recovery only when the pre and post angio area is closed, usually in the late evenings and nights.--LKolesar 12:12, 2014 July 25 (CDT)
Elective Cardioversion
When patients come to ACCU for an elective cardioversion only, they are not entered into the database. This is also a bed borrow.
