Nursing Care Plan Documentation & Implementation at Hospital Selayang
Madam Zaina Mohamad Chief Matron, Selayang Hospital Nursing Documentation is very crucial as it concerns the quality of care rendered to our patients. Rise in litigation may occur if documentation is not done or is incomplete. Challenges were encountered in nursing progress notes, nursing notes and nursing care plan (NCP) notes. NCP committee was formed and challenges were met by creating new NCP based on activity daily living, available in the system via hyperlink, on going training and continuous surveillance. Resulted in 100% sisters and staff nurses being trained to these new NCP and challenges were met progressively and effectively. Innovation in Medication Administration: The Hospital Putrajaya Experience Leong Foong Khuan Nursing Director, Hospital Putrajaya This case study describes the problem of transcription of doctor's prescription that allows medication errors, poor medication administration and documentation, which in turn compromises patients’ safety. A pilot study was done from 1/5/2005 to 30/10/2005 in 3 surgical wards and there was much improvement after remedial actions done. Hospital wide implementation of the change was carried out from 2007 to 2008. For continuous monitoring and trending, a re-audit was done in December 2008 to study the magnitude of improvement. |
