Task items replaced iTISS in 2006. The Medicine program continued to track these specific items as QA indicators and not for nursing workload.
Only mark a task as performed if it was done during a patients stay on your ward. If a task was done prior to patient coming to your ward or after patient is transferred to another ward, it should be marked as none during the stay on your ward.
- These items are included in: S_AllDiagnoses table which is in CCMDB.mdb.
Possible entries for BiPAP/CPAP:
Patient managed?
If a patient managing their own BiPAP then this should not be marked. However, if it was newly started during this admission, mark it.
- Hi Trish I need clarification from you I was told that you only mark BiPap/CPap if it was a new start in that admission. And if they came in with their own machine you did not mark it as yes regardless if the nurse assisted with it.So now I am told differently and I am quite upset if I have been told wrong. So what does "started " mean in the above sentence?
- 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. --LKolesar 12:22, 2014 November 17 (CST)

Optiflow
Optiflow is not CPAP or BIPAP so don't mark this task for patients with Optiflow.
