General Collection Practices
|
I have linked this from Critical Care and Medicine Database Core Curriculum, but it likely needs updating. Unless we don't want it at all. |
Collection Frequency
Data collectors are required to collect patient information ideally at least 3-4 times per week to keep up with the collection process, and to minimize back-logging of profiles.
- Collectors must follow-up charts to the Ward and to Medical Records for completion.
- if there are priorities to submit outstanding data, the data processor will advise you and these must be submitted within 2 day of request.
- Managers, Directors & Researchers are utilizing this information regularly in form of regular reports
Quality Checks
Data collectors are required to check all their data to ensure that all fields are complete prior to sending.
Who will handle queries?
- Question and answers should posted here on the WIKI.
Please refer to the article: Communication for the CCMDB.
Requests for correction/clarification/audits
- Regular queries in regards to data elements are submitted back to the data collector for clarification. (emails, fax, voice mail or spreadsheets). Clarification will be completed within the time frame that has been is requested by the manager or data processor.
The importance of common practices
It is important that we maintain a clear standard in the collection processes for all sites so we can collate a database with quality information. This data will be used to manage and improved standards, quality of care and resource utilization of ICU’s across the city of Winnipeg.
