OK, this may have been covered in another thread, sorry if it's repetitive.
Recently the policy at the facility in which I work has the doctors entering orders in the computer, as opposed to the paper chart.
Nurses were told, "Be extra careful checking orders!" So I have to take the computer's word for it. Scary to me.
Last week, a consulting physician even called the attending to ask if one order was correctly entered, it seemed an inappropriate order.
Does anyone else have experience with this? Does anyone else think this unsafe?
