040925 -    3.  Thanks very much for continuing interest in my "Power Port"
040926 -        project at Kaiser in Walnut Creek, shown by your letter this
040927 -        morning [on 081111, ref SDS 21 HZ5I], and following up your
040928 -        letter on Saturday [on 081108, ref SDS 17 MT5Q].
040930 -         ..
040931 -    4.  The Bard Power Port performed perfectly.  Getting there remains
040932 -        a work in progress.  You asked what Bard can do?
040934 -         ..
040935 -    5.  Please read through the record of the work at Kaiser on 081107
040936 -        (takes 5 minutes). ref SDS 15 MX6K
040938 -         ..
040939 -    6.  The problem is culture.  People doing the same thing all day
040940 -        every day need hands-on assistance to do something different
040941 -        with the Power Port, even though it is mind numbingly simple,
040942 -        until folks have done it enough to get comfortable.  Since I
040943 -        will have CT tests every six weeks, this will help build
040944 -        experience, assuming I last another year or so.
040946 -         ..
040947 -    7.  Please consider giving the Bard Power Port continued visibility
040948 -        at Kaiser in Walnut Creek, by responding to my letter
040949 -        yesterday, not to me, but addressed to Dennis and the medical
040950 -        team saying something like...
040951 -
040952 -        a.  "Glad Millie's CT test was completed last Friday using her
040953 -            port.  She asked me to attend the test for support using
040954 -            new technology.  Unfortunately, I couldn't be there for
040955 -            her.  The record indicates everybody pulled together and
040956 -            got it done.  I'll try harder to attend the next test, and
040957 -            hopefully smooth out the "rough edges" Pat mentions.

040959 -               [On 081117 called Steve developed strategy for Bard
040960 -               follow up at Kaiser in Walnut Creek. ref SDS 23 A74T
040962 -             ..
040963 -        b.  I agree with Heather's idea to develop a protocol.
040964 -            ref SDS 15 2F56
040966 -             ..
040967 -        c.  I would be pleased to assist at no charge developing a
040968 -            protocol for consistency using the Bard Power Port.  This
040969 -            has worked well for other customers, including other Kaiser
040970 -            hospitals.
040972 -             ..
040973 -        d.  Sincerely,
040975 -             ..
040976 -        e.  Steve"
040978 -         ..
040979 -    8.  I don't know if this is in the ballpark of something you feel
040980 -        comfortable doing, but if not, give me a call and we can
040981 -        discuss how you can support the effort.

040983 -           [On 081117 after reviewing the record of difficulties Kaiser
040984 -           had with Millie's CT test on 081107, Steve recalled that
040985 -           Dennis the supervisor seemed more receptive, ref SDS 23
040986 -           PQ3P, to offers of help on 081030, ref SDS 10 UF5H, possibly
040987 -           reflecting difficulties Dennis had recognized occurred doing
040988 -           Millie's first CT test using the Power Port on 080718,
040989 -           ref SDS 1 FM74; Steve plans to offer again to assist Kaiser
040990 -           in Walnut Creek develop a protocol with instructions on
040991 -           using the Bard Power Port for CT tests in time for Millie's
040992 -           next test in 6 weeks. ref SDS 23 JH3N
