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.

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.
