Activity Summary

Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes

As the saying goes, if it wasn’t charted, it wasn’t done. In the setting of nursing shortages and burnout, it is more important than ever to improve nurses’ documentation efficiency and eliminate non-value-added work. This session introduces national efforts focused on documentation burden. Nurses also learn about a hospital’s Mission Possible project, a partnership of informatics and bedside nurses working toward reduced documentation and increased job satisfaction. Let us inspire you to start now.

Objectives

  • Discuss the impact of nursing documentation burden on the healthcare team and patients.
  • Identify the initiatives occurring on a national level aimed at reducing clinician documentation burden.
  • Discover methods to improve nursing charting efficiency.
