So tell me what are your thoughts on the amount of documentation we are asked to complete whilst we are caring for our patient under anaesthetic.<\/p>\n
In the hospitals I have worked, we have a scrub nurse, anaesthetic nurse & circulator or scout nurse. The documentation is both paper and electronic. Responsibilities about paper work vary, as a rule this is how it generally plays out,\u00a0here in Australia.<\/p>\n
1) Pre admission checklist usually completed by the anaesthetic nurse<\/p>\n
2)\u00a0Scanning of instrument trays or attaching stickers to patient notes<\/p>\n
3) Time Out Checklist\/ VTE Assessment- scrub\/scout team<\/p>\n
4) Intra – Operative nursing care form- scout nurse<\/p>\n
5) Count Sheet- scrub\/scout team<\/p>\n
6) Chargeable Sheet- scout nurse<\/p>\n
7) Prosthesis Sheet-scout nurse<\/p>\n
Not to forget<\/p>\n
8) Pathology documentation<\/p>\n
I am sure that I may have missed some, please contact me regarding any other types of documentation your health facility may have.<\/p>\n
I know there are a number of hospitals who still do not have computers in\u00a0their operating rooms, as a result\u00a0this documentation is completed manually. Then there are some OR’s that do have computers but not all of the documentation\u00a0can be accessed via a PC, this requires us multi tasking on paper and PC.<\/p>\n
What are your thoughts on this, is there an easier and more efficient way of managing this mandatory\u00a0paper work. I think we are all in the same vote, although I am not sure if this process works any better in other parts of the world. Would appreciate your\u00a0thoughts on this.<\/p>\n
