CDS Corner - Winter is coming…

With the cold weather well and truly arriving, the Clinical Documentation Services team have a Pneumonia focus this month.

The goal of the education is to ensure the doctors document the type of pneumonia, the bug causing the pneumonia (if known), documenting radiology findings, contributing factors and if the patient has respiratory failure.

They gave out care packs to the doctors that included tissues, lip balm, soothers, and a tea bag.

There was education on documenting different types of pneumonia, and as always, there will be a quiz for nurses to complete and win on the ‘Documentation Daily’ board in the Caregiver Dining Room.
