Nursing Documentation Forms

What are you looking for? When I worked in a nursing home I created fax forms for us. We faxed all kinds of stuff to doctors and rather than waste time writing these messages up I created fill in the blank type forms for stuff we were constantly faxing (lab results, requests for medications). I had a memo template for writing CNAs up. I had a report sheet. I also had a number of care plans that the nurses just needed to fill in pertinent information that applied to the patient. Many of these, however, were lost when a technician failed to save the data on the hard drive of my computer before he erased it. It would not be difficult to re-create them.

Here is the report sheet: Report Sheet.doc

Look at MedQIC, quality improvement organization, to see what info they have, visit their Tools link.

Example:

SBAR Nursing Home Package

SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) is a device that can be used to improve communication within the nursing home setting. The SBAR Nursing Home Package includes two versions of a physician communication SBAR tool, an SBAR tool for pain, a flyer, a pocket card, phone stickers, references, sample scenarios and more.


Several other tools listed ..

I would be willing to share, but most of our forms are now on computer (we are trying to go paperless) so I don't know how much help I could be to you. We have been doing admission history paperless for quite a while now.
