BIPAP/CPAP Task: Difference between revisions

Line 13:

== 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. --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 12:22, 2014 November 17 (CST)
