Some departments within our institutions have begun using temporal thermometers and concern has been raised surrounding the accuracy and whether or not we need to adjust our thought process regarding what makes up a positive temp. I would be very, very interested to hear how others are handling the source of a temperature (oral, rectal, core, temporal, etc.) and how that factors into a positive screen? Additionally, if you are able to share any supporting literature I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you as always in advance! ~Claudia Claudia Orth BSN, RN, CCRN-K Regional Sepsis Coordinator Clinical Quality Munson Medical Center 1105 Sixth Street Traverse City, MI 49684-2386 (231) 935-5692 (Voice) (231) 318-0394 (Pager) [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
