November 2010 Update - Baseline Data Collection continues...

Participating hospitals are now collecting the second month of their baseline data. We have received October data for many of our facilities and we are reviewing and entering it in the database as it arrives. The process of reviewing and entering the baseline data at the PQCNC office allows us to determine if there are consistent omissions and/or data points that are difficult to identify from chart review. We are providing feedback to teams for each data packet we receive. We are also finalizing our baseline data reporting system in anticipation of providing relevant reports to all teams at the January Learning Session.

Learning Session 1 registration is still open and teams continue to register. This process has also allowed teams to give us the most up-to-date roster of their members. Teams are required to at least register a nurse champion, a physician champion, and an administrator champion. We look forward to receiving all teams' registrations in the coming weeks.
