TISS quality checks

Important Quality Checks for TISS to overcome some of the TISS28 data and collection problems. Data collectors are responsible for these.

Consistency Checks involving ETT present, Intubated, Extubated planned or unplanned, Ventilated any time /2300 HR, Trach present, Central line, CPAP/BiPAP

	These need to be integrated into a cross check and then implemented or rejected or whatever. if previous date has no T22 - ETT Present (TISS Item) and today date has T22 - ETT Present (TISS Item) then T40 - Insertion of ETT (TISS Item) should be marked not necessarily, could have been done in OR or elsewhere if previous date has T22 - ETT Present (TISS Item) and today date has no T22 - ETT Present (TISS Item) then previous date of the T29 - Unplanned extubation (TISS Item) or T28 - Planned extubation (TISS Item) should be entered not necessarily, could have been done in OR or elsewhere if previous date has T22 - ETT Present (TISS Item) and today date has T22 - ETT Present (TISS Item) and T40 - Insertion of ETT (TISS Item) are marked then today date of T29 - Unplanned extubation (TISS Item) or T28 - Planned extubation (TISS Item) should be marked not necessarily, could have been done in OR or elsewhere	added: no added date action: no action date

Checked / done:

if ventilated any time (#18) then ETT (#22) or trach (#23) should be marked : query check_CCI_TISS_Vented_without_mechanism
if extubated unplanned (#28) or planned (#29) is marked then ETT (#22) should be marked - query check_CCI_TISS_Intubation_vs_Intubated
if ETT is inserted in ICU (#40) then ETT present (#22) should be marked - query check_CCI_TISS_Intubation_vs_Intubated

TISS cross checks

	Need to decide which cross-checks we need for this. They can now all be in CCMDB.	added: no added date action: no action date

Clear, dark markings

Staff must use dark pencil or black pen on the form and fill in bubble completely. Light pencil marks, colored ink, dot in a bubble or half filled bubbles do not scan well.

Top of every page

Collector must write: the serial, page number, unit, first date on form AND addressograph on front of EACH PAGE

Dates

Numbers in the date boxes must be consecutive

Always at least one circle marked

There should be at least one circle filled-up on each date.

at least one TISS item

or

NO TISS28 items applicable to TODAY line 1 on form

Correcting mistakes

If a mistake, cross out (X) the erroneous circle(s), shade the correct circle(s) and put an X on the square box at the end of the row where the correction was done.

If all entries in a row are correct, do not put any mark on the square box at the end of the row.

Keep the form number clean

The bottom right corner must be kept clean and unmarked (ie. no lines or characters overwriting the number). The number is by Teleform (the form scanning tool) to identify the form and if it is unreadable, the form will not import right.
