HI! I am doing a presentation of bedside computer nursing and wanted to see how many of you use computer nursing notes etc. Pro/Cons and how it has made a difference in your area of practice. If you don't mind to list your workplace that would be great also to include in the presentation. :)

Hi, I work at Marymount Hospital in London, Ky. We used bedside charting for awhile but it didn't work for us after about 2 years they quit using it. It was too complicated, not time efficient, and hard to retrieve.

Used Meditech system for over 5 years, did not like it, too hard to flow from one screen to another when attempting to assess interventions/evaluations. Systems are only as good as the designers. If there is little nursing input, then they are the pits.
