Do you trust electronic implant logs?

[toca]

Hi everyone,

We're researching the ways in which OR Nurses document implants (like total joints, hips, screws...). We have heard that nobody trusts the electronic implant logs... is this true? Why/why not?

What method for documenting the use of implants and devices do you use? Paper chart, electronic, barcode, all or none--- tell us about your thoughts and experiences of these documentation methods.

Thanks for your insights!

They seem to trust them on Law and Order...lol
