An interprofessional team developed a symptom word documentation tool based on surveillance definitions for specific types of infections published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nursing documentation was monitored pre- and postimplementation of the tool, revealing increased compliance with symptom documentation. Although symptom word documentation does not reduce the number of infections, it may impact the central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) rate by better differentiating CLABSI from other infection sources, as was observed in this institution.
一个跨专业团队根据美国疾病控制与预防中心发布的特定类型感染的监测定义,开发了一种症状词记录工具。在该工具实施前后对护理记录进行了监测,结果显示症状记录的合规性有所提高。尽管症状词记录并不能减少感染数量,但如本机构所观察到的,它可能通过更好地将中心静脉导管相关血流感染(CLABSI)与其他感染源区分开来,从而影响CLABSI发生率。
