Point Click Care Question

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Has anyone used the Point click care system? I was wondering if it is possible for someone to delete a nursing progress note from the system. I just found that one of my nursing notes is missing from the system and I know I signed it. Has this happened to anyone else?

Not familiar with that system but I suggest contacting IT. They should be able to see if the chart was edited or deletions made (& by whom).

From my experience, only the writer can strikeout the documentation but even then, it is still shown but with a line through it. Did it maybe not save. Sometimes the draft gets saved and it shows up at the top of the progress note.

Progress notes can be struck out but not deleted - It's possible you did not save - of you did and the computer hiccupped and didn't catch it. The program has some bugs in it as I just redid a whole set of admitting assessments that did not lock.

I have contacted IT. Waiting for a reply.

I also know you can strike out a note but it will still show up when you hit view all but with a line through it. My note is completely gone. I don't save anything as a draft. I write down my thoughts on my report sheet for the night and save them so I have a log of what I did or didn't do b/c my nights tend to run together. When I type something in the computer it is signed and locked right away and I check to make sure it is there. I know it was there the night saved it. I just happened to be checking back on lab work and came across this as a accident that my note is now gone from the computer.

did you perhaps put it under a different patient?

I will check out the other patients on the date in question to make sure but I'm 99% sure I didn't put it under another patient.

Curious...did you ever figure out what happened?

I use point click care at work, when I try to save after selecting "yes" for giving medications, the screen come back to me unsaved. My selection does not turn green it stay yellow. Any advice?
