Need Tips or Tricks on Remembering IV Stop Times

Published

Just wondering if anyone can help me and my fellow nurses on how we can remember to chart our stop times for fluids and ATB. We have a new computer system and there are so many stop times getting missed, and when we don't chart them the hospital doesn't get paid for them. Generally I am pretty good about it, but obviously others aren't because we are constantly getting nasty emails about it. We've even gotten screamed at and threatened to hold our paychecks over this issue.

So if anyone else has had to deal with this issue and has any suggestions for me, they would be greatly appreciated.:banghead:

Don't u have to check ur IVs every hour and document how much is going thru on the FBC? That is a good way to remember.
