Tips for getting SCIP measures completed on time. (Foleys)

Published

Hello all,

So I work on an ortho floor and was asked to come up with a few suggestions for getting SCIP measures completed on time.

This is a brand new floor and the Docs are mad, insurance is threatening to withhold reimbursement ect..

I was asked to focus on the Foley protocol (out within 48 hours).

Some fellow nurses and I suggested that a Foley sticker similar to a IV tag with date and time be attached in the O.R.

This would be a great visual que for the other nurses, much like changing out the IV tubing.

Maybe the other nurses are missing things because the SCIP measures are not in the computer care plan and are on the hard charts at the nursing station.

Any other suggestions for foleys would be appreciated. It seems like such an easy task but for some reason there is a problem where I work.

Thanks gang

Yeah, I was figuring that our unit manager could be that person since she is making rounds every morning anyway
