  1. 10 ICU patients; 9 ICU monitors.

    shgrbkr posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues
    Would like some feedback on the following situation: ICU. 12 beds (all 12 used to have ICU monitors). NOW... only 9 beds equipped with ICU monitoring equipment. 3 beds can have telemetry level patients. What is the hospital's obligation when they have 10 or 11 ICU level patients, and want to put (and have) the extra 1 or 2 on telemetry only? They are licensed for ?? number of ICU beds.Do they have to report the change to the state? I need suggestions where to find hard, legal backup for refusing to take more ICU patients than there are monitors. How can one pick and choose which patients get the tele box and which get the real deal ICU monitor? This is a disaster waiting to strike, and I need HELP!! JCAHO does not address this issue directly.
