Coordination of data between collectors: Difference between revisions

At the [[Team Meeting September 29 2010]] we discussed that we should stop comparing comorbids across locations. Julie would be able to assume that any comorbid mentioned during a hospital session is active for the rest of that stay, so having collectors spend time to make sure it is recorded at each collection is duplication.

We also talked about ~~[[Changes#Facilitate_exchange_of_patient_discharge_times |~~ facilitating how collectors communicate admit/discharge times]]. I need to know if we can drop the comorbid comparisons before I can implement that. Trish, can we stop comparing comorbids? Please also update [[Changes#Facilitate_exchange_of_patient_discharge_times | here]]. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 11:37, 2 November 2010 (CDT)

*{{discussion}}This topic was discussed at the steering committee meeting on October 3, 2011. It was the consensus of the group that comparing comorbids is generally not necessary. However, if a data collector needs to contact another in regards to comparing organisms later cultured or if they are unclear how to code the diagnosis and need to clarify some items from a transferred pt anyway, it does not hurt to compare the comorbids. The time comparisons can be obtained by using the Transfer Tracker.mdb. --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 14:35, 26 October 2011 (CDT)
