In areas where VAP isn appropriate to collect, is the assumption that we should be collecting and benchmarking other data such as BSI, UTI, etc.?
It is required to collect falls and pressure ulcer data on the units where applicable, plustwo other indicators from the list provided on page 21 of the 2008 Magnet Manual. If your unit does not have falls or pressure ulcers as an applicable indicator, then you only need to collect two of the indicators on the list.
