| Re: paperwork Actually, it's more hospitals trying to justify their charges. For example, if an IV infusion on a pump isn't mentioned for 24 hours, the insurance company won't pay for 24 hours of IV therapy. Of course, there are a gazillion other reasons - legal, financial, etc., etc.

Mood:  |  Re: paperwork Don't forget that good charting protects you in a lawsuit. As far as the legal system is concerned if it isn't writen it isn't done. I've been depositioned in a case where the original incident occured 4 years prior. - accurate charting saved my arse!!!!!!! good documentation is part of good patient care - It's a pain and time consuming especially in long term care a psych where 1 RN typically takes care of 15 to 25 patients. ARRRRGGGGGGGG! hppy |

| Re: paperwork my chart is good for 21 years because if somebody shoots you when he's 17 it must have been because of a birth trauma. I'm waiting for somebody to start suing OB's because their kid has ADD.
