General Updates

  • Vilma and I are still working through API stuff as you are so please keep doing a paper timecard until we tell you to stop.
  • While reviewing charts with our chart reviewer this week it was brought up that we should be adding a comment to every IV medication or fluid we are infusing to state that it is infusing on a pump to justify the charge.
  • We should make sure that the time we are receiving the patient is not the same time as the prior caregivers time-we would be charging services at the same time(i.e. day surgery or ER)
  • Please obtain a written order for patients on bariatric beds.

Reminder-staff meetings for PCU are Monday and Wed.-see times to the right.

Topics of meeting to include:

  • API
  • Blog
  • Vacations
  • Future staff meetings

Please let us know if there is anything else you need.

Our condolances to Barb Caron and her family on her recent loss of her father.
