* At STB Laura also gives an inservice to the new students as requested by the ICU course educators.  In this inservice we discuss completion of the [[TISS]] and how this relates to QI and other reports required by the region. Emphasis on charting of the elements needed to determine criteria for [[VAP]]s (eg. charting of ETT secretions as to color, consistency and amount). --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 13:53, 2017 September 21 (CDT)

** {{discussion}} Do collectors at other ICUs do this? Ttenbergen 21:16, 2017 September 22 (CDT)

* Laura has done huddles (sessions usually called at shift change to bring attention to changes or issues of concern to staff.)with the staff about [[CAM positive (TISS Item)|CAM scores]] which are also of interest to the QI team.

*The importance of this program is not only based upon data usage alone.  The data collectors themselves are a resource because they audit the charts and their observations are valuable to future plans for EPR and to bring attention to charting discrepancies and errors. We are important to Quality improvement in that respect as well.--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 08:05, 2017 September 25 (CDT)
