POUR Presentations
At the October 2013 staff meeting, AIP PACU nurses were educated on POUR concepts via a PowerPoint presentation. I instructed nurses on using the voiding the algorithm in Phase II patients with a high risk for POUR and the new order for "patient must void prior to discharge."

Clinical Quality and Risk Management Committee

The risk management case from May 2013 regarding the patient who was readmitted with POUR was up for review at the February 2014 meeting. Carolyn Dietrich presented the case. I presented the POUR implementations and plans to prevent further incidences. The committee was impressed with all of the changes and did not have any further suggestions. They expressed interest in presenting the voiding algorithm and order addendum to AOP PACU and other procedural areas.
