Paper to Computer Charting

I couldn't edit my other post...

When we relieve someone, most of us tend to add stuff and not delete something someone else wrote under "comments" ,for example. I suppose someone could delete something just to be a jerk if they didn't like you, but their name would show up on the chart too, so if you get nailed for improper charting, they'll get in trouble also.I always make sure to exit out of the chart when being relieved so that other persons name is on the chart as well.

We've had our system for a while and no legal problems that I've heard of.

Hey, my boss had a great idea. Call McKesson and ask.

She also doesn't think that it is possible that the system as your trainer describes.

I will definitely do this. The McKesson rep is on site sometimes, and I plan on asking her.

Thanks again.

I am glad you haven't had any legal problems. Do you use orsos? I still think it is dangerous to have someone able to delete/change your charting. I would rather have keystrokes identified per user and not allow anyone to change someone else's charting (no matter what the reason). It is definitely a good idea to log off before stepping away from the computer. Thanks.

ACK! ALWAYS LOG OFF WHEN YOU LEAVE YOU DESK!

Would there be any way to maybe annotate your name or initials into the documentation that way you know you documented it. We do that where I work. We have McKesson as well, but the program we have shows when changes were made and by whom.

That is what I am hoping for. We go live on July 1. Hoping to speak directly to the McKesson rep before then. Thanks
