BIPAP/CPAP Task
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.
- These items are included in: S_AllDiagnoses table which is in CCMDB.mdb.
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.
- Hi Trish I need clarification from you I was told that you only mark BiPap/CPap if it was a new start in that admission. And if they came in with their own machine you did not mark it as yes regardless if the nurse assisted with it.So now I am told differently and I am quite upset if I have been told wrong. So what does "started " mean in the above sentence?
Optiflow
Optiflow is not CPAP or BIPAP so don't mark this task for patients with Optiflow.
