*HSC B3- Pat is finding that there is poor documentation on charts about when and decubitus ulcer present on admission or when acquired after coming to a ward. (exception, HSC_D5 is excellent with documentation. Stage of ulcer is rarely documented in the chart.  Pat looks at the nursing FLOW SHEET for indication of some sort of a dressing change that would clue her in that there may be a bed sore. Pat will then track down a bedside nurse to find out what dressing is for and if bedsore what would be the stage.  Most time it is a guess because of poor documentation by both Doc and Nurse.[[User: PStein | PStein]]

Comment

  • HSC B3- Pat is finding that there is poor documentation on charts about when and decubitus ulcer present on admission or when acquired after coming to a ward. (exception, HSC_D5 is excellent with documentation. Stage of ulcer is rarely documented in the chart. Pat looks at the nursing FLOW SHEET for indication of some sort of a dressing change that would clue her in that there may be a bed sore. Pat will then track down a bedside nurse to find out what dressing is for and if bedsore what would be the stage. Most time it is a guess because of poor documentation by both Doc and Nurse. PStein
