title: eDoc evaluation - at eighteen months into the challenge.
abstract: We describe an evaluation plan for electronic clinical documentation. Guided by Canada Health Infoway Benefits Evaluation Framework, the evaluation was performed across a single organization with four health care sites and included reviews of documentation practices from the nursing and health disciplines. Data collection methods included chart audits, shadowing, surveys and focus group meetings. Key recommendations drawn from the data analysis will help to guide documentation format and practice improvements.
