New CDI nurse here
So forgive me if this is stupid. ICU nurse for 5 years just transitioning to this. We have a harms meeting every week to identify HAC/HARMS. You have to present your case in the meeting when you find the harm. And then the meeting decides what kind of query you can send. I’ve suggested SBAR to my preceptor as the meeting seems to be a mess. No one speaks from my department. I got pulled into my managers office and was told how to maintain new professional relationships.
Whoops didn’t mean to do that. I apologized profusely.
So in my email to the committee I tried doing SBAR just to explain the patient to them rather than doing it in the actual meeting cause idk how else to explain the situation. I have to show my emails before I send them to anyone. They erased my message.
I was told to write “possible harm. AKI. Creat 1.0 to 1.5” and then not to speak in the meeting.
Is this normal at other places? Couldn’t I offer up a recommendation of “query linkage of AFIB RVR and CHF exacerbation to poor renal perfusion” or am I totally misunderstanding my job.
