Outreach efforts

We need to get word out.

If collector hear anything about QI circles that would benefit from our data, let the main office know.

efforts to date

• attended Regional Critical Care quality conference with poster.
• met with decision support team at HSC to present our database.
• met with Critical Care CRNs to present our database.
• Laura and Lois attend the STB VAP Committee meetings.

• At STB Laura also gives an inservice to the new students as requested by the ICU course educators. In this inservice I discuss completion of the TISS and how this relates to QI and other reports required by the region. I also emphasize charting of the elements needed to determine criteria for VAPs (eg. charting of ETT secretions as to color, consistency and amount). --LKolesar 13:53, 2017 September 21 (CDT)
