title: Do emergency nurse practitioners provide adequate documentation?
abstract: Documentation in healthcare services is important but often lacks detail. This article describes a pilot study of whether staff who have completed an emergency nurse practitioner course provide more detail in their patient assessments. Post-course audits demonstrate that standards of documentation had been maintained or had improved in some areas, but had declined in others.
