*This entire article does not make sense. By this definition no one on a medical ward would have a trach task marked. By this definition, a pt that gets a trach while in the ICU would not get the task marked when they are transferred to medicine. Trach task, in my opinion, should be marked if a pt has a trach no matter when they got the trach or where. (It is a nursing workload issue). Also, instead of the terms acute and chronic, it should be temporary or permanent for the options. Medicine collectors please let me know how you deal with this task.--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 10:01, 2013 May 8 (EDT) | *This entire article does not make sense.

Revision as of 12:15, 2013 May 8
Task items replaced iTISS as a sampler of specific "nursing workload" items that the medicine program continues to track as QA indicators.
Only mark a task as performed if it was done during a patients stay on your ward. If a task was done prior to patient coming to your ward or after patient is transferred to another ward, it should be marked as no or none during the stay on your ward.
These items are included in: S_AllDiagnoses table which can be found in CCMDB.mdb.
