Term
Isolation Types
Definition
Codes to indicate the reason that a patient is in isolation and to help supervisors, requesters, or EVS employees to determine if special precautions must be taken.
Bed lists such as the Occupied Beds or All Beds display a column called Iso Type.
In the Patient Tracking Portal, isolation types can be selected in the Patient Attributes section of the Patient/Placement Details form so that they can be used in the advanced bed search to find an optimal bed for a patient.
