title: Building a nursing quality management program on preprinted charting forms.
abstract: The use of preprinted charting forms saves nursing time and, at the same time, increases completeness and accuracy of documentation. Data for Quality Management (QM) are easily gathered from preprinted charting forms, making the forms an effective tool for building a nursing QM program. The enthusiastic response to the presentation of this program at the American College Health Association's 1998 Annual Meeting in San Diego prompted the authors to share this information with journal readers.
