The WRHA Critical Care Program is changing to [[TISS28]] because it takes less effort to collect, compared to the original [[:Category: TISS76 |TISS76 ]] and provides the same level of information required for purposes listed below. Like the original TISS76, TISS28 also does not even come close to including all of the things done by ICU nurses. 76 items is a considerable number, and efforts were made to try and reduce the number of individual items without reducing the validity of the TISS score. In 1996 a careful analysis was done by ([[Media:TISS 28 R.Miranda CritCareMed1996.pdf | R.Miranda CritCareMed1996]]) to reduced the original 76 items to 28 items (TISS-28) Instead, the snapshot of nursing workload represented by the TISS28 score has been demonstrated to correlate with total nursing workload, and with the severity of illness. Since the TISS items are things done by bedside ICU nurses, they are in the best position to accurately identify them. | The WRHA Critical Care Program is changing to [[TISS28]] because it takes less effort to collect, compared to the original [[:Category: TISS76 |TISS76 ]] and provides the same level of information required for purposes listed below.
