130 Words1 Page

Issue: For many alcohol withdrawal patients, providers will order assessments using the Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment (CIWA).

With the data she collects, she ensures proper documentation is completed and the bed alarm is on or a Patient Safety Aide is present. She updates staff on issues discovered during audits and informs them of changes to the CIWA protocol. Outcome: 7B staff feel comfortable and confident completing these CIWA assessments. Many are able to guide providers when verifying orders
