== Will anyone ever be counted as "acute" if collected according to these rules? ==

*The problem is that in the "rules" the pt must have had the trach procedure done while on the ward, which rarely happens. The "acute" rule only applies if it is a trach done in the last 48 hours which could happen. I think that the collectors are counting all the trach patients whether the trach was done while on the ward or not, according to the numbers. I do not see the value in whether it is acute or chronic because we no longer even do this in the ICU tiss. I think there is more value in whether it is a temporary trach or permanent trach. (Just a suggestion).--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 15:02, 2013 May 8 (EDT)

*This entire article does not make sense. By this definition no one on a medical ward would have a trach task marked. By this definition, a pt that gets a trach while in the ICU would not get the task marked when they are transferred to medicine. Trach task, in my opinion, should be marked if a pt has a trach no matter when they got the trach or where. (It is a nursing workload issue). Also, instead of the terms acute and chronic, it should be temporary or permanent for the options. Medicine collectors please let me know how you deal with this task.--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 10:01, 2013 May 8 (EDT)

** interesting point. Just had a quick look, here are the numbers: [[File:Trach entry counts.JPG]]
