How much time does it take for nurses to document using the technology?
The technology we use is designed to have little or no impact on nursing workflow. Nurses may be asked to update the patient care plan (one to two minutes per patient), but much of this information is also used to create the nursing sign-out report, which will print in the ICU at change of shift. This sign-out report provides a more accurate and efficient exchange of information to the next shift nurse.
