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 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)
