Abstract
A method for tracking ventilator information for clinical process improvement or reporting of a ventilator-associated event. The method includes receiving rules for reporting a ventilator-associated event; configuring threshold values corresponding to the rules; comparing ventilator information obtained during patient care with the rules and the threshold values; and generating an output of the comparison of said ventilator information with the rules and the threshold values.
Claims20
A method for tracking ventilator information for clinical process improvement and public reporting of a ventilator-associated event, said method comprising:
- receiving rules for public reporting of one or more of ventilator-associated condition (VAC) reporting and infection-related ventilator-associated complication (IVAC) reporting;
- configuring threshold values corresponding to stages of said rules;
- comparing ventilator information obtained during patient care with said rules and said threshold values;
- and
- generating an output of said comparison of said ventilator information with said rules and said threshold values.
A method for tracking ventilator information for clinical process improvement and reporting of a ventilator-associated event, said method comprising:
- receiving rules for reporting a ventilator-associated event;
- configuring threshold values corresponding to said rules;
- comparing ventilator information obtained during patient care with said rules and said threshold values;
- and
- generating an output of said comparison of said ventilator information with said rules and said threshold values.
A system for tracking ventilator information for clinical process improvement and public reporting of a ventilator-associated event comprising:
- a rules receiver to receive rules for reporting a ventilator-associated event;
- a threshold values configurer to configure threshold values corresponding to said rules;
- a comparator to compare ventilator information obtained during patient care with said rules and said threshold values;
- and
- an output generator to generate an output of said comparison of said ventilator information with said rules and said threshold values.
