Influenza treated: Difference between revisions

Line 36:

* When you say discharged or dies under the above collection instructions do you mean regardless of what unit the gets transfered to? Are we looking at continuous stay in hospitals in winnipeg? For example if the patient is at the Conc and goes to STB do collectors need to follow up on whether the patient got a full course of Tamiflu at STB?

**If my patients are transferred out, and the Tamiflu hasn't been discontinued prior to transfer, than I assume they should be continued on Tamiflu. I consider these patients to have received a full treatment.[[User:Mlagadi|Mlagadi]] 09:28, 2018 January 11 (CST)

** We still need confirmation on what to do if they haven't recieved a full course of antivirals (as instructed above) prior to transfer to another unit.I have several of patients who aren't getting the full course prior to transfer and then on follow up it is stopped on the ward prior to 5 days once swabs are in. Trish, Julie can you answer the question and then remove the discussion. Thanks.

****this is correct.

*If they don't have a full course of antivirals maybe we should be counting the days in our pharm_flow so that we don't use the influenza treated code in the temp studies for those that don't get a full treatment?The way it is set up now you can't tell if they got a full course of antivirals or not.

**there is a confusion in the area of what influenza treated means. Basically, do we need to check to see if the patient received a full course of Tamiflu/oseltamivir during a continuous stay in a hospital? The wording full course implies that we do need to know that information if possible.

***One suggestion: If they don't have a full course of antivirals maybe we should be counting the days in our pharm_flow so that we don't use the influenza treated code in the temp studies for those that don't get a full treatment?The way it is set up now you can't tell if they got a full course of antivirals or not.
