A systemwide approach to validation of electronic device denominator data
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 October 2022
Abstract
A multidisciplinary team collaborated to develop and validate a process to electronically capture patient and device denominator data at 6 hospitals in the same healthcare system. Validation was completed within 4–16 months. Manual count errors were identified as the main driver of electronic versus manual discrepancies.
