Open publisher page 11 citations

Abstract

Often, complex documentation forms place unnecessary burdens on nurses. A change in one hospital's patient care forms contributes to positive outcomes. With the revised documentation, nurses spend more time caring for patients while still meeting the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations' requirements.
