Hello

My name is Carol. I live in Pennsylvania.....LPN for many years and currently collect data for Core Measures. I have an avid interest in Core
Measures and was hoping to find more nurses that are doing Core Measures.

:waving: Hi, carole! Nice to meet you. To be honest, I have never heard of Core Measures. Perhaps you can elaborate on what that is??

Hi Carolde, welcome to the forum. I take core measures very seriously at my hospital and during the operations meeting each morning I start with how we are doing with Core Meaures. The biggest fallout area is usually with direct admits and in the ER........:luck:

Hi Jim:

Do you work at a big hospital? I really enjoy doing the measures but they can be puzzling at times.

Perhaps we can share tips of the trade.

Very nice to meet you and hope to talk more to you.

Carol
