NAON sits down with Georgia Reiner, Senior Risk Specialist from Nurses Service Organization to discuss nurse liability with electronic health records. Electronic health records (EHRs) create the digital version of a patient’s paper chart with a holistic focus on the patient’s health going way beyond the standard clinical data. An EHR system is built to share information with other providers so that all clinicians involved in a patient’s care have access to necessary records in a timely manner. Documenting electronically streamlines provider workflow, yet the risk issues for nurses are similar as those with paper records. Tune in to this high level view of nurse risk to educate yourself on best practices, as well as basic steps to take to mitigate your risk level. We are talking about issues facing orthopaedic nurses, but this episode broadly applies to all nurses.
