rmthorkelson got a reaction from SMILLER in Equipment and QC Log Review - TrainingScott, it's true that the onus is placed on the person initiating and completing the log entries. But, as people are human, they will make errors through distraction or negligence. Reviewers are held accountable precisely because their responsibility through daily or monthly reviews is to ensure the records are complete, accurate, and correct.
I appreciate your perspective but I don't see this so much that we're "going after" as much as we're looking for a couple of tools to assist our reviewers. They are often busy within the shift and there are many logs to review on a daily basis.

rmthorkelson reacted to Deny Morlino in Equipment and QC Log Review - TrainingAre you referring to paper logs, electronic logs, or both? For paper logs, an overlay template with the areas to be filled in cut out of the template is a handy tool (nursing loves the one the have here for checking completeness of transfusion record). If you are talking electronic records, most software systems have reports available that can be custom defined and saved so that minimal changes (i.e. date ranges) are necessary.
As far as training goes, buy in by the people reviewing is paramount to success. If the reviewers are just going through the motions, failure to catch all the omissions is likely.
