Medical Device Change Forms now on Ward Trackers
All wards are now LIVE using the Ward Tracker (Whiteboard) to monitor when a medical device (Tracheostomy, Catheter, & Gastrostomy Tube) is scheduled to be changed. This will help to ensure that we are changing our medical devices at the correct time as well as improving our ability to plan for when changes are due (ie. ensuring equipment is available, nurses have enough time to complete the task, etc).
This also gives us the ability to go to the most recent medical device change form, simply by clicking on the appropriate column on the Ward View. This will help to ensure we have the most up to date information regarding that medical device and ensure we are not looking at old information which could lead to unnecessary procedures or incorrect information being given to other hospitals (ie. acute admissions, planned appointments, etc), family members, etc.
