Scope of practice ?

Our facility just recently put out a memo telling us that due to Meaningful Use ( I don't even know what that is) when we have a pt expire in order to discharge them from our Meditech system we must put in a Preliminary Cause of Death. I feel like this is outside of my scope of practice as an RN. I am not a doctor, I cannot say why someone died. Some of the other nurses and I are refusing to do this. What do you guys think?

    Just chart "weaponized ebola" and see how long it takes to get a phone call.

    My Computer Engineer husband nearly spat his drink across the room at this...after I'd laughed myself hoorifice and he'd asked, "What? WHAT?!!?!" of course...

    Can't diagnose a dead guy. You are simply starting what you think happened.

    I'm in Arizona and the. BON issued a position statement that if a nurse can assess life they can assess death.
