Technology can significantly aid in maintaining proper formatting through:
Electronic Health Records (EHR): These systems provide standardized templates and prompts to ensure complete and accurate documentation. Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS): These tools help in making informed decisions by providing evidence-based guidelines. Speech Recognition Software: Allows nurses to dictate notes, which are then transcribed into text, saving time and improving accuracy. Mobile Applications: Enable real-time documentation at the point of care.
