AbstractThis paper describes quality improvement projects by three different multidisciplinary groups. The combined work from these groups addresses the staff's ability to provide safe, efficient, and expedient airway care during transport away from their home-base inpatient unit for patients who have a tracheostomy or a laryngectomy. The convened multidisciplinary project groups developed airway management algorithms, a "Go Kit," tracheostomy supply caddies, and a transportation communication check list. This paper further describes associated staff education with revised policies and procedures (DHMC Clinical Operations Policy Library 2005; 2006; 2007).
