Infection Control Info for Patients and Families - did you know that there are one page handouts for patients and families when it comes to precautions? Just search "Patient Information Handout" on the SHA Intranet and the first result is the IPAC Patient Information Hand-Outs page. Here you will find one pagers on Contact, Droplet, Airborne, CPO, C.Diff, Noro, and TB that you can print and give to families on admission which is useful in educating them on what rules they need to follow. 

CNE Updates

1. CADD-Solis PCA Pumps – “Go-Live” is Monday June 17. This means no more regular PCA pumps will be seen as of this date.

There is step by step instructions on: how to use the pump, practice scenario orders, and a troubleshooting/general tips guide on the S drive and in the new Epidural/PCA binders (unit 2). The pumps are very easy to use and we will keep the pumps for as long as we are allowed.

2. Congratulations to our lovely newly trained Obs staff – Amirali, Travis, Kaitlyn F., Shar, & Mary Rose!

3. Supply Carts – we just wanted to thank everyone who has brought supply issues to us. We have put in requests frequently over the last year to add stock or increase the stock amounts. Currently, cart changes is on a hold due to AIMS. We have put in requests (increasing Sim Sensitive, etc) but that will be done once the supply change freeze is over. If you are needing to order specific products – either because we are frequently running out or because it is not stocked, please send a message to a CNE and we can assist.

5. The Pediatric & Neonatal Central Venous Access Device (CVAD) eLearning module is now available. The changes to practice will take effect July 23. More information to come next week on practice changes but it will not replace the need to complete the MyConnection eLearning module. MatChild - Pediatric & Neonate CVAD Learning Module (thinkific.com)

6. eLearning – there eLearning platform has changed. To access the current 2024 eLearning:

go to fSHR Info net -> E-learning site -> CLICK on “nursing”. DO NOT USE the Acute Care Pediatric drop down -> select “Pediatric Inpatient Department” -> enroll in the course

Record keeping of learning for our unit – Going forward, we have a Learning Record folder at the sign in desk (outside the manager offices). Please initial the learning you have completed.

7. Alteplase/Occlusion Management for Central Lines – This is not an RN procedure for our unit right now – it must remain Physician responsibility until the new Clinical Standard and Guidelines Go-Live. We will ensure the updated information is available and blitzed prior to the procedure becoming the RN responsibility.

8. NEW Q-card on Saskatchewan Bleeding Disorders Program – Please review for any Bleeding Disorder patients.

      9. Please note that when Diabetic Patients are admitted to hospital, CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitoring) cannot be used for making treatment decisions.  Please see below pdf for explanations on this. https://www.saskhealthauthority.ca/system/files/2024-05/CS-G-0241-CGM-FAQ-for-Acute-Care-Setting.pdf

E02 Elevator RUH (entry into Medical Imaging) - this is now prox card access only 24 hours a day.  Unfortunately the signage that has been put up has not been effective in reducing the amount of “lost” patients and family members entering the back of Medical Imaging.
