- Trish, prior to this latest edition of the Task we here at the Vic had always understood this to be a "yes" or "no" question. With this new information it will impact on the method of data collection. Do you wish us to change the method of our collection now or as Dr. Roberts stated in the June/08 meeting go back to how you were collecting?TAngell 10:50, 17 November 2008 (CST)

- We had been collecting all patients who were on CPAP/BiPAP on the medicine wards. Not just the new CPAP/BiPAP patients. With this new information in the wiki, I understand that we are now only to collect the patients who have been newly ordered to have CPAP/BiPAP on this admission to the hospital. Will this schew any of the data we have previously collected and impact negatively any future data we collect in the Task?TAngell 09:12, 19 November 2008 (CST)
