**thanks for putting the question out here.  The workload  we track is for a new starts as instructed above.  Patient manages own but nurse helping, not tracking.  That is how medicine drew the line for this item.

*This is difficult to differentiate as it is poorly documented sometimes.  For example a pt that has been on cpap or bipap at home now comes into the hospital with a condition where they cannot manage the bipap on their own (like a stroke or fever, etc).  It would be much simpler to identify all bipap patients rather then trying to figure out which patients can manage their bipap on their own.  I wonder what the rationale for this was??  Some of our tasks are not done by ward nurses (like dialysis), but we still track this.  --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 12:22, 2014 November 17 (CST)
