STB CICU Collection Guide
This article contains collection information specific to the STB CICU (cardiac sciences) at St Boniface.
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 StB in the program or unit level articles.
See the following for more general information:
Unit admission log book
The unit admission log book is kept at the main desk in front of where the ward clerk sits along with a binder to keep the completed TISS and green sheets as well.
Ward contacts
If you have questions ask the ward clerk or charge nurse.
Collector "base"
You can sit at the main desk behind the ward clerk to read charts or at the individual patient desks if the nurse is away. I usually take a bedside table and put my laptop on it to walk around the unit. This way I am not intruding on the nurse's space.
Location of patient chart components
Patient charts and clipboards are in front of the individual cubicles.
