IICU
Sept 12.12 - transfer ready delay to the IICU will be reported separately and not included in the general transfer delay to wards from ICU. This includes transfer delay to H6 LTV unit. As per Dr. Garland & Dr. Paunovic.-Trish Ostryzniuk 14:18, 2012 September 13 (CDT)
- For IICU - waiting time for IICU only starts when IICU attending physician has deemed the patient a candidate. IICU consults (patients) cannot wait to be seen until IICU has a bed available.Trish Ostryzniuk 14:53, 2012 September 13 (CDT)as per Dr. Bojan Paunovic.
- I moved this here from Transfer Ready date and time because I remembered that the IICU reporting was documented here. I am not sure this is collectable as instructed. If a patient is transfer ready according to usual definition, and at a later time dr approves him for IICU, then do you really want to lose the original transfer ready date/time? I think the problem is trying to use the transfer ready date to gain some information about IICU when that is really a different concept. If we want this information we should consider collecting it in, e.g. a tmp entry. Ttenbergen 21:49, 2014 February 26 (CST) Template:Discussion
