Fields Reports from Arkansas Methodist Medical Center
- Improvement in Oxygenation Assessment - Oxygenation Assessment was added as a 5th vital sign for all admissions. In order to improve compliance new vital sign machines were purchased. The new machines have Oxygenation Assessment capabilities. To offset the cost of the new machines, a request was made to the auxiliary. They graciously purchased at least one machine for each nursing unit. Education was completed on the use and the purpose of the new machines. The education process emphasized the importance of oxygenation assessment. Compliance data is posted on each unit quarterly. Case Management reviews all pneumonia admissions for documentation of the assessment. (Posted by LanaWilliams on 04 Aug 2008)
