Documentation is critical to defending the care provided.
Nurses spend a lot of time documenting and more and more documentation is being added. Why do they have to document so much? Legal documents provide evidence of the patient’s care. Most patients won’t remember a year after the care took place whether or not their nurse handled their care correctly. That documentation is the only thing that can help a potential future legal situation. This video reviews the purpose of documentation, nurse’s notes, and case law.
