This is a short learning memorandum concerning “Wrong patient was treated.” The Health Department has received around 35 messages per month in which the wrong patient was treated because of misunderstandings.
Learning note is specifically aimed at managers of clinical departments and personnel who are responsible for organizing patient flow and patient record systems as well as those performing ID verification. The note is also relevant departments for medical biochemistry, imaging, pathology departments and departments of immunology and transfusion medicine.
This paper is also published on Helsedirektoratets nettsider under Publikasjoner, type Læringsnotat.
Learning notes contains information from § 3-3 to institutions covered by the statutory obligation to report incidents that cause, or could have given considerable damage to the patient. Illuminated risk areas is based on the content of messages.
It is not conducted systematic searches for improvements in connection with the preparation of the note.

It’s time to register and / or update your external work. The University Board has decided that all employees at UiB, regardless of the job category and position fraction shall register the tasks they have outside of UiB. The intention is that there should be full transparency both for people both inside and outside UiB about employees’ potential links. The list of external work is therefore publicly available.
It is emphasized that it is entirely legitimate and also desiraable that UiB employees have external work. But all external work is to be registered. You do the registration in Paga.
What external work should be registered? Read the manual here
As one of the largest departments at UiB, K2’s cards are often looked at. Last year we were checked in terms of the number of K2 employees who had registered their external work.
Many had not done this. This year there is a clear order that this is happening. I therefore expect that everyone registers their external work within October 21st at 4:00 PM.
It’s easy to do and takes most of us under 15 minutes. For those who do not have external work to register, send an email to Ingvild with the following text. “I have no external work”

The theme of bachelor thesis:
Spring 2017 students in bachelor programs in human nutrition write a Bachelor’s thesis.
Thesis amounts to ten credits, the equivalent of about six weeks of full-time work. The aim of the exercise is to give students experience in nutrition research work, in terms of planning, implementation and presentation of a scientific project. The task may be a limited empirical assignment or a literature assignment (review). Literature Tasks are recommended. Students receive training in literature and writing technique as part of the course. This guidance will mainly focus on scientific content. Experience from last year showed that it is wise to find a limited theme with uncontroversial literature.
In this connection, the Programme Committee in nutritional input to nutrition-related topics for bachelor theses. The thesis will provide 10 credits, and printed in the program’s sixth semester (spring semester). Students begin the task in February 2017.

At the start of next year, a centralized storage of biomaterial at -80C and colder is planned in Marie Joys House (MJH). Here remote freezers needs be placed, and the majority of the biomaterial should be stored here.
The remaining biomaterial may be stored in local freezers, especially material which is in frequent use. Since the need for freezer capacity is increasing and soon increasing beyond the present capacity, we will now be starting the process of establishing local freezers and remote freezers. We will work through the established Floor responsible people (Etasjekontakter) in the Lab building and in the Obstetrics Department and Pediatrics Department to assemble an overview of freezers (-80C and colder including liquid nitrogen storage) including number and owners and users of each freezer.
We encourage the owners of freezers/biobanks already now to begin sorting their material based on storage in either local freezers or in remote freezers. There are several ways to solve this, for example by redefining the ownership to the freezers in each floor so that the owners jointly manage both local freezers and remote freezers, but we welcome alternative suggestions. The goal is that some of freezers in in Lab building and in the Obstetrics Department and Pediatrics Department must be moved to MJH to operate as remote freezers there.
