Current process in place to obtain information

  1. information is collected by the CRN/charge nurse at each of the ICU's in the city. Data is suppose to be completed at the same time each day.
  2. counts includes the number of ET_Tubes per day, and the number of unsheduled/unplanned extubations per day.
  3. form is faxed to our office once per week. Original kept in CRN office at site. Data Processor has a contact person at each site she must call if forms are not received by Wednesday each week.
  4. Data Processor manually enters counts into an ACCESS database on our share point on "X":.
  • NAME: CentralLineswithETtube.mdb
  • LOCATION: X:\CCMDB_Special_Projects\Central_Line_Infections_ETube\DATA_ENTRY_LineCounts_ETube\CentralLineswithETtube.mdb


Forms used in ICU

  • Form is completed daily by CRN (charge nurse) or manager and FAXED to the Database Research office once per week (every Monday with previous weeks data).
  • Data Processor makes a phone call to specific contact people in each ICU every week if the form is not submitted by Wednesday each week.
  • Data Processor manually enters values from this form into an Access database on our office share drive X.
