Hello everyone, I am working on a quality improvement project for one of my classes. I was assigned to look into intake and output documentation. I know that on my unit this has been a major issue. Some shifts there is documentation and others there is not. How does your facility keep track of this? Is your facility struggling too? What do you do to make sure you keep track of your patients i&os? Do you use flow sheets or daily logs? If so are they patient driven or does the staff fill them out? Are they for each shift or for 24 hour period? Do you think they work? What could be done differently? What are some of our barriers for not documenting? Any comments, tips, suggestions are appreciated!!!!
