EHR Simplification and Documentation

Overview:

The amount of clinical documentation and the undue burden it puts on already stressed nursing staff can be overwhelming at times. But how much of that burden is actually required? Is there a way to simplify clinical documentation and still meet regulatory requirements? If you find yourself answering the question, “Why do we have to document that,” by responding, “Because Joint Commission requires us to,” then this webinar is for you. At Chartis, we believe in simplifying documentation as much as possible to both maintain safe practice and compliance. This webinar will focus on prioritized areas that are commonly overburdensome and can be simplified to give nurses time back at the bedside. Join us to learn more about common misperceptions of requirements and self-imposed documentation requirements.

Objectives:

• Understanding documentation requirements
• Identifying and prioritizing overly complex EHR builds and expectations
• Focus on: Admission Assessments, Pain, Titrations (block charting), Restraint, Nursing Care Plans, Simple EHR solutions with immediate impact
