Source of data From patient charts Form nurse heads From residents
Challenges in retrieving data Difficult in getting death log-book in the system.. Both discharge and death summary are in one place Date and clander : system uses europian clander Discharge death
SBFR-reporting system– should be traceable In every case reported, there should be traceable….having MRN, ward and date of death
Defibrillator should be available at wards Bedside ultrasound crash-card for emergency drugs should be available Proper ICU- consultation should be implemented and proper patient counsoling .
Strengths Timely rounds BID Good start to IPC Proper isolation rooms for active pulmonary TB pts
Gaps and weakness Late inter-departmental consultation Incomplete registration
Recommendation Patient as well as community education Early inter-departmental and ICU consultations Fulfillment of equipment's
