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.

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. VAP committee meetings are held every month.

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)

I have done huddles with the staff about CAM scores which are also of interest to the QI team --LKolesar 13:53, 2017 September 21 (CDT)

(Huddles are sessions usually called at shift change to bring attention to changes or issues of concern to staff.)

Concerning ongoing EPR changes and issues, we contact Carolyn Deerpalsing if we see any issues with the system. I have also had discussions with our educator about future planning regarding ICU EPR charting. --LKolesar 08:01, 2017 September 25 (CDT)
