I'm working on a project right now, with the goal of mobilizing back to paper chart in an EHR downtime. One of the biggest problems we are having is making and using a paper chart. If you are an OG nurse, I would love to connect and pick your brain or feel free to comment below: 1. When new notes, orders are added to a chart, how were you made aware? 2. were RN orders ( or RN tasks) placed on the blank Dr order sheet or was there another location for RN orders such as vitals, wound care etc? 3. How were active meds kept track of? In the paper MAR? The ones Ives seen only have 3 days worth of dat, so did that have to be transcribed again and again? 4 when a Dr placed orders, how were you alerted to review or check the chart? 5. If an order was for an ancillary dept, who's job was it to let them know?
