Research Proposal: Medical/Surgical Nurse Documentation
[ send me this essay ]
A 15 page paper proposing research into the completeness and appropriateness of nurse documentation at a teaching hospital for a period of one month. Nurse documentation formerly was a topic that was discussed only as a matter of instruction and requirement for complete patient records. Though that perspective remains valid in today’s health care environment, the issue of nurse documentation has taken on a far greater role in both practical and administrative terms. Nurse documentation must be appropriate, and for a variety of reasons. Of course the issue of patient safety and completeness of care remains the leading one, but reimbursement by third-party payers increasingly is dependent on appropriate nurse documentation. The need for appropriate nurse documentation is only expected to increase in the future. Bibliography lists 24 sources.
