7:30- 8:30 AM
Doctor’s Lounge
Agenda
7:30 Injection Room Meeting Minutes:
New Policy on Staff and PPD shots- Yearly PPD test are no longer the practice at GH. (Unless of course you work in respiratory therapy area’s. etc….) new Hires will still be required to get a series of 2 PPD tests.
Anyone that has a positive or suspicious result will be required to get a Chest X-ray and follow up with their PCP
NDC numbers will now need to be entered on all patients receiving medicare. GHC is starting small with immunizations and the 81 drugs listed on the Injection Room Matrix. Training will occur at each clinic by the CIS Consultants, (Kitty). Official implementation date has not been defined
Flu campaign is all most over. Extra Vaccine can be returned to the Pharmacy. The plan for administering the vaccine did not work well this year. A lot of the patients we sent over by providers to get the shot, as they should of.)
The problem was that the patients that got the injection went back and told their friends and then we started getting those patients. This happened so often that by the time the flu campaign started a lot of the injections had been given, so much so, that the nurse that came to clinic specifically to do injections was slow and often sat reading her book.
8:10 Nadia Duffy Attended core meeting to discuss power outage and medications
• Review and updated Procedure manual. Nadia also introduced the new type of bag to use for medications. Revised who to contact if there is an outage. Sheila will create an algorithm for this. Nadia will get 4 new keys made so that the “contact” staff will be able to enter the building
