This pages explains how TISS28 is coded on File:TISS28 Form.pdfs by local nursing staff / data collectors. See TISS Items SMW for the list of things that are collected.

  • As part of Update of D ID to include a laptop identifier we are thinking of changing the use of the field currently labelled as "Page" (would be updated to label "laptop" in future prints of the form) to reflect the laptop that a patient is collected on. For example, HSC CC laptop might have number 7, so that collector would always need to put the number 7 in the field on TISS forms. Do collectors see any problem with this approach?

    • For HSC: Does this mean that we wouldn't have to number the TISS forms sequentially anymore? Also, I would prefer to keep laptop identifiers as letters at HSC, because I'm working on a method to split workload based on EFT, and that requires a numerical sequence. Other than that, I don't see a problem with the proposed change to the TISS form.--Jvelasco 08:50, 2020 February 19 (CST)

Collection instructions

  • Items 1 to 45 (except 11 & 39) - mark if the activity occurred any time during that calendar date
  • Items 11 & 39 - mark if activity occurred with in last 24 hrs
  • Answer each item separately; don't worry about apparent conflicts or overlaps between items
  • A calendar day starts at 0001 hrs and ends at 2400 hrs
  • If a patient is in the ICU a very short time, a TISS score is required to reflect nursing efforts during this time.
  • Do not sent TISS form to the ward with the chart. Please hand it in to the Unit Clerk who will file it in the Research Forms binder at the front desk.
  • Once a page of TISS is completed, hand in the completed form to the Unit Clerk and start a new form. Please do not staple together. The scanning of the forms are affected if stapled.
  • TISS is to be done for a patients entire length of stay in ICU.
  • If a patient is transferred to another ICU, do not sent the form to the other unit or hospital. A new form is started when patient admitted to your ICU.
  • If a patient is transferred to another ICU in your center and the Service looking after the patient changes, then a new TISS form is required. E.G., a patient who goes from MICU under Medical Service and is transferred to SICU under Surgical service.

Who fills out the TISS

  • All shift - bedside nurses.
