Topics for discussion:
8:00- Injection room
1. TB Screening- some confusion on documentation process. Core staff denied confusion; they felt it was probably a flow staff that worked in the injection room. Pat agreed to educate the LPN’s on TB protocol.
2. Injection Charting Errors- Most errors come from forgetting to put the asterisk in front of the lot number when they are charting on pediatric patients. We will start tracking on a monthly basis to see if the same errors are being made.
8:25 Immunizations
1. Count: daily, weekly and monthly- staff feel that counting immunizations only need to be done bi-monthly.
2. Ordering system- the staff were concerned that Bobbie is the only person that knows how to order Immunizations- We will start training all core staff so that if someone is sick or on vacation, the count will still get done on time
3. Bobbie will put together all the information that is needed and put in a Sherpa. The Sherpa will also contain the instructions for charting them in Epic.
4. The matrix has been changed again. The new one address’s procedures that are done in the core. Copies have been made and distributed to all core staff. Pat will train flow staff LPN’s who float to the core. This information will also go in the Sherpa.
8:40 Levine
1. We would like Dr. Levine to attend our meeting once a month. Dr. Levine also like this idea and will be at our next meeting on 1/6/09
2. Some topics that we would like to discuss with him are: ordering immunizations, wound care, and we would like to set up a weekly or bimonthly meeting with him to discuss our difficult wound care patients.
8:50 Dressings
1. Need a time to get caught up on new products and old products. (when to use them, why we use them and how to use them) this will be done through a 15 minute
