A young gerbil sitting by the food bowl to eat. Gerbils are social animals, and live in groups in the wild. They rely on their sense of smell to identify other members of their clan, so it is important to use what is commonly referred to as the split tank method when introducing gerbils from separate litters.
Activity Summary. The ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) bundle is a focus of many health care institutions. Many hospitals are conducting process- improvement projects in an attempt to improve VAP rates by implementing the bundle. However, this bundle is controversial in the literature, because the evidence supporting the VAP interventions is weak. In addition, definitions used for surveillance are interpreted differently than definitions used for clinical diagnosis. The variance in definitions has led to lower reported VAP rates, which may not be accurate.
What is VIPP? Xerox Variable Data Intelligent PostScript Printware (VIPP) is a powerful system of fully compliant PostScript technologies for the production of personalized documents. The FreeFlow VI Interpreter refers to the software used to interpret the VIPP commands. VIPP is used to discuss anything related to the VIPP commands or VIPP based applications. VIPP consists of a set of macros that reside on the PostScript interpreter, eliminating many of the time-consuming steps associated with traditional variable information workflows by enabling Dynamic Document Construction (DDC) at the printer.
