Research on Double Charting

I just switched to a different hospital that does a LOT of double charting. As in, your assessment, vitals, I&O, weights, etc goes in the computer, then everything but the assessment is written down on clipboards. Some nurses have been trying to change this system and have everything in one place but it has been a slow process. Some nurses are resistant to the change because they do not like navigating our computer charting system. Not only does this take up more time charting in two different places, it seems as though it can open you up to more legal issues (what if I chart the vitals in once place but forget to in the other, or transcribe incorrectly, etc). Just wondering if anyone knows of any articles or research on the hazards of double charting to bring to our Unit Committee?

    Switch back to the other hospital lol. j/k. What is their rationale for writing everything down on clipboards, as well? If you know their rationale, then you can debate against that rationale lol. I'd be careful as a new hire, though, giving suggestions, etc. You may want to wait a little while, lest you look "too critical" lol.
