==[[VAP]] - physician support==

Collectors have the support of ICU Regional Director, to feel that they should asked ICU physicians directly or by email if needed, if they are having difficulty with a DX of a VAP or other infections which we are following very specific criteria. Collector's have specific criteria they follow when auditing a chart however, on numerous occasions, a collector is finding a diagnosis example: VAP, or MSRA septicemia, yet no where on the chart can they find results that meet the criteria. This is a team patient quality of care project and is a team effort so all staff in unit work as a team. Collectors who are finding they are having an issue when approaching unit attending or physician staff please let me know.
