{{DiscussAllan |2. VAP missed because follow up CXR's after initial infiltrate not done. Criteria says: new and persistent or progressive and persistent infiltrates. If QA team wants improved VAP recordings maybe attendings need to be reminded to do those follow up CXR's on the cases that they think have VAP?}}

*Some VAP can be occasionally missed because the doctors are not always doing the follow up CXR's after the intial infiltrate and identification of pathogen. If the infiltrate need to be new and persistent or progressive and persistent, if those follow up CXR's are not done we can't code a VAP even if it is a probable VAP. If the QA people want to improve VAP recording by data collectors than maybe attendings need to be reminded to do those follow up CXR's on the cases that they think have VAP? Just a thought.[[User:GHall|GHall]] 10:42, 2018 April 5 (CDT){{Discussion}}

*{{Discussion}}==possible option for VAP cases that connot be confirmed==

*At the team meeting, Gail made a suggestion of making a category or a flag for patients that may have a VAP but lack some confirming information. Just wondering if this is an option?--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 10:35, 2018 June 15 (CDT)
