IMPORTANT INFORMATION DURING COVID PANDEMIC

see STB General Collection Guide#IMPORTANT UPDATE DURING CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC for general info

  • STB ICU Data Collectors will be working from home until recalled or redeployed; we are monitoring our emails

AS OF NOVEMBER 2020, in order to accommodate COVID ICU patients & in an attempt to keep specific units "clean/dirty"

“ACCU has transferred 4 of their beds over to ICCS, in order to take in 4 beds for ICMS overflow patients. There has been a surge in ICU bed requirements lately, and this is part of the pandemic plan through HICS. In order to keep ICCS somewhat green, ACCU will take on the overflow for ICMS. The ACCU attendings will be the responsible physicians for those patients in ICCS (this is different than the current guidelines, as these patients are not our overflow but part of their baseline); The unit staff remain in their own units at this time - collaboration between the units will continue, and conversations about acuity will be front and center.”

    • ICMS has now 18 opened beds (14+4 in ACCU)

ACCU remains 8 opened bed (4 main unit +4 ICCS) giving their other 4 Bed to ICMS ICCS reduced from 14 to whatever available (e.g. 10)

Patient origins and types (Admit_Type_for_APACHE_II)

  • The following seems to be different than what is in Admit_Type_for_APACHE_II - there it says they have to be directly from OR.
  • These things should be the same for medicine and critical care at STB, no? If any instructions separate from Admit Type for APACHE II are actually required, they should live in STB General Collection Guide instead of here. Ttenbergen 15:40, 2020 October 7 (CDT)
