    What are your pros and cons of computer charting?

    OrganizedChaos replied to Jewelsforme's topic in Nursing Informatics

    The con of paper charting is it can be easily lost. At my last job every detainee who came in got a chart & medical was still on paper. That was thousands of charts! It wasn't uncommon for charts...
