CQI/PI Plan for Heart Tx

Hi,

I am in orientation as a Coordinator in a very small heart transplant program. I was just handed a folder with "CQI/PI" on it, and told to create an Excel spreadsheet to track 4 areas for this quarter: line infection, ABO verification, waitlist time, and ischemic time.

Um, I am clueless. I get the gist of how to access the information, but I'm not sure what they're looking for. Do they want to know if someone HAD a line infection, for example, or just that we're tracking all the patients with lines? I was told that the information "is all in the folder" but I am scratching my head over this.

Thanks for any info or help.
