Electronic Health Records (EHR): EHR systems allow nurses to cross-reference patient information quickly and efficiently. Patient charts: Manual cross-referencing of patient charts can help verify treatment plans and medical histories. Interdisciplinary meetings: Regular team meetings ensure that all healthcare providers are on the same page regarding patient care. Checklists and protocols: Standardized checklists and protocols help ensure that all necessary steps are followed.
