Task items replaced iTISS as a sampler of specific "nursing workload" items that the medicine program continues to track as QA indicators.

Only mark a task as performed if it was done during a patients stay on your ward. If a task was done prior to patient coming to your ward or after patient is transferred to another ward, it should be marked as none during the stay on your ward.

Possible entries for BiPAP/CPAP:

Patient managed?

If a patient managing their own BiPAP then this should not be marked. However, if it was started during this admission, mark it.
