Medical-Accute Gastrointestinal Illness Recording / Reporting System
|
|
Violation:
The software tracking illness records and generating illness reports has errors in the way it is reporting passenger and crew totals. For example, on the voyages #25491 (03/31 - 04/07/2013), #25490 (03/24 - 03/31/2013) and #25489 (03/17 - 03/24/2013) the required gastrointestinal illness log listed 1909 crew members on each voyage. The actual number of crew members were about 700 less or 1218, 1218 and 1184, respectively. For the most recent voyage #25493, this erroneous number actually made it into the ship's GI report, though it was not recorded on the log. Differences in the passenger totals were also noticed with a higher passenger count. This was often noted on the records from booked passengers used by the system rather than actual passengers for these voyages. An example of this discrepancy may be found on voyage #25489 (03/17 - 03/24/2013), where there were over 40 fewer passengers on the 4-hour report than the 24-hour report.

Maintain a daily, standardized AGE surveillance log for each cruise by the master of the vessel, the medical staff, or other designated staff.
