title: Hospital provider satisfaction with a new documentation system.
abstract: Nursing documentation is an important component of clinical nursing practice. It is estimated that 15%-20% of work time is spent documenting patient information and that documentation is the most common cause for overtime. An evaluation of hospital staff satisfaction with a recently implemented documentation system showed that 70% are satisfied with the new system; 75% agree that consistency of nursing documentation has improved; 72% agree that availability of records has improved; 78% agree the placement of the nursing documentation at the point of service facilitates location of data; and 65% agree there has been a decrease in the number of forms they have to review in order to locate nursing information.
