title: Focus charting in renal nursing: a quality issue.
abstract: The paper explores how to minimise charting time, yet ensure that relevant information is documented in a concise manner in locations that are easy to access. This type of charting lends itself to review and data collection which is useful for quality improvement incentives. Patient centred documentation leads to quality improvements which ultimately results on cost savings.
