Everyone who has access to the record (direct caregivers) is expected to maintain its confidentiality
Most agency grant nursing students access for education purposes….must hold info in confidence…Never use patient’s name when preparing written or oral reports
Agency policy indicates which personnel are responsible for recording on each form in the record…
Policy also indicates order of chart

Communication Diagnostic and therapeutic orders Verbal orders-order must be given
directly by the physician, or nurse practitioner to a registered nurse or registered pharmacist
The only circumstance in which an attending physician, nurse practitioner, or house officer may issue orders verbally is in a medical emergency, when they are present but unable to write the actual order.
![Page 16: Kelli Shugart RN,MS. Documentation- written or typed, legal record of all pertinent interactions with the patient Contains data used to: Facilitate](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649ccf5503460f9499aff8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The RN who receives the order will:1. Record the orders in the medical record2. Read the order back to verify accuracy3. Date and note the time 4. Record V.O. (verbal orders), name of the
MD who issued the orders, followed by the nurse’s name and title
Example: Give 0.25mg po lanoxin Daily, starting
in Am 9/18/09 V.O. Micheal Smith, MD/Kelli Shugart, RN
![Page 17: Kelli Shugart RN,MS. Documentation- written or typed, legal record of all pertinent interactions with the patient Contains data used to: Facilitate](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649ccf5503460f9499aff8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
It is the responsibility of the physician or nurse practitioner who issued the verbal order to:
1.Review the order for correctness2.Sign the orders with his or her name,
title, and pager number3.Date and note the time he or she signs
the orders It is the responsibility of the unit
secretary and/or the registered professional nurse to see that the orders are transcribed according to procedure
![Page 18: Kelli Shugart RN,MS. Documentation- written or typed, legal record of all pertinent interactions with the patient Contains data used to: Facilitate](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649ccf5503460f9499aff8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Agency policy must be followed Every T.O. must be repeated back to
ensure that the nurse correctly understands what was ordered.
Must be on an order sheet Co-Signed by physicians within a
specific time Fax orders must be legible and issued
from a credentialed and privileged individual
![Page 19: Kelli Shugart RN,MS. Documentation- written or typed, legal record of all pertinent interactions with the patient Contains data used to: Facilitate](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649ccf5503460f9499aff8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Follow similar protocol as V.O. (1-3)4.Record T.O. (telephone order) and the full
name and title of the physician or nurse practitioner (NP) who issues the orders.
5.Sign the orders with name and title It is the responsibility of the physician or
NP dictating the orders to sign them as soon as practical. With exception of orders for narcotics, anticoagulants, and antibiotics, which must be signed within 24 hours.

Source oriented Records Advantage
Each discipline can easily find and chart data Disadvantage
Data fragmented
Problem-Oriented Medical Record- (POMR)
Example Box 17-3 Advantage
Entire health team works together to determine list of problems
Collaborative plan of care Progress notes clearly focus on patient problems
![Page 22: Kelli Shugart RN,MS. Documentation- written or typed, legal record of all pertinent interactions with the patient Contains data used to: Facilitate](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649ccf5503460f9499aff8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

PIE- Problem, Intervention, Evaluation- originated from nursing
Example figure 17-2 Does not develop separate plan of care At beginning of each shift patient problems are
identified, numbered and documented in progress notes, and worked up using PIE format
Resolved problems are dropped Advantage
Continuity and saves time (no separate Plan of Care)
Disadvantage Nurses have to read all nursing notes to
determine problems and planned interventions

FocusNarrative section uses the Data, Action,
Response (DAR) format- example figure 17-3
AdvantageHolistic emphasis on patientEase of charting
DisadvantageSome nurses argue that the DAR categories
are artificial and not helpful when documenting care

Charting by exception (CBE)- figure 17-4 Advantages
Decreased charting time Greater emphasis on significant data Easy retrieval of significant data Timely bedside charting Standardize assessment Greater interdisciplinary communication Better tracking of important patient responses Lower cost
Disadvantage – limited usefulness in response to negligence claims against nurses

charting Never share passwords Don’t leave computer unattended Follow protocol when correcting errors,
“mistaken entry” add correct info, date and initial entry. If wrong chart, write “mistaken entry – wrong chart”.
Never create, delete or change entries Back up files Don’t leave info about patient for others to see Never use email to send protect health info Follow policy for documenting sensitive material
