Nursing and all that paperwork

It's never-ending, the paperwork. Nurses spend a LOT of time charting important details about their patients. Many times, these details can mean life or death. And, the documentation must be legible, complete, and accurate. How do you balance patient care and the documentation?

    It's not easy, I can tell you that. I try to chart my rounds as soon as I do them so I'm not scrambling to chart them later in the shift. I write important details down so I don't spend time later trying to remember something.

    If you're doing paper charting, well... Good luck. LOL.

    We probaby do more paperwork in HH than anywhere else. Learning and understanding the requirements and having mental templates for the different conditions and/or comorbidities make for more thorough yet concise and efficient charting. Some people fight it instead of submitting to and mastering it.

    That last sentence pertains to me. :bag: Or did until I realized nothing was going to change. I've figured out the hospital system but the hospice system is a dinosaur of a program for computers so it is frustrating.

    Give me pen and paper!! :crying2:
