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

At STB Laura also gives an inservice to the new students as requested by the ICU course educators. In this inservice we discuss completion of the TISS and how this relates to QI and other reports required by the region. Emphasis on 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)

Laura has done huddles (sessions usually called at shift change to bring attention to changes or issues of concern to staff.)with the staff about CAM scores which are also of interest to the QI team.

Concerning ongoing EPR changes and issues, we contact Carolyn Deerpalsing if we see any issues with the system. Laura has also had discussions with the STB educator about future planning regarding ICU EPR charting.
The importance of this program is not only based upon data usage alone. The data collectors themselves are a resource because they audit the charts and their observations are valuable to future plans for EPR and to bring attention to charting discrepancies and errors. We are important to Quality improvement in that respect as well.--LKolesar 08:05, 2017 September 25 (CDT)
