We are collecting tasks as indicators of quality care, nursing work load and for other future uses. When you collect tasks, think of them as not only an indicator of nursing workload. Please follow the guidelines given in the individual article for each task, and these guidelines will be taken into account for any analysis of task data.

To facilitate task collection CCMDB.mdb automatically adds a task entry "fill" for each of the tasks for every new patient. The corresponding dx codes sort before the allowed tasks, so clicking on any one of them will bring up the allowed tasks as next options. Using a "fill" task instead of defaulting to "none" will prevent anyone from just forgetting to set this while still facilitating easier entry of tasks.

Start Date

  • Start Date: December 15, 2006; Medicine Program only (in Task.mdb collection started on Dec 19.2006)

Why not default to "none"

We thought about defaulting these to "none" but decided not to do this because some of them are rare and the risk of missing those if they are always defaulted would be to great. Ttenbergen 10:26, 3 November 2010 (CDT)

Legacy

When the MOST Score was implemented for the Medicine Program, the collection of iTISS data was stopped. A need was identified to continue to collect some information on nursing workload therefore the medicine program adopted a list of Task Elements they wanted to track. Tasks are collected in L_Dxs because at the time we started collecting this we were limited in where/how we could store data. Accordingly, the task options are stored in S AllDiagnoses.
