Kick-Off Meeting Agenda
Project Overview
Introduction of the team and responsibilities
Q & A
| Situation: | Lack of documentation of IV completion (end-time) lead to huge financial loss in Observation Patients |
| Background: | Observation patient treatments are paid by the hour and itemized. If the IV fluid is not “completed” in chart, it’s not charged to the patient. |
| Assessment: | Nurse do not have consider that documentation an essential part of patient care. Doing it at discharge was too time consuming. Thus, large number of IV end-times were not documented. |
| Recommendation: | New workflow to hang IV fluids: Click on the IV fluid icon before starting the medication administration process. Pull up last bag hung to complete it first. Avoid batch charting No question on actual amount of IV infused |
