Can someone tell me what kinds of things are considered escalation of hospital level of care? I haven't been able to find a good reference for this. I know transferring to ICU or CCU and urgent dialysis are examples. What about ordering a consult by another specialist, increasing the amount of oxygen, adding another medication (vancomycin, doesn't specify whether IV or oral, no mention of labs for monitoring of toxicity)?
