In nursing documentation, highlighting can be used in various ways:
Electronic Health Records (EHR): Important patient information such as allergies, critical lab values, and medication orders can be highlighted to stand out in the EHR systems. Nursing Notes: Key observations, changes in patient condition, and significant interventions can be highlighted to ensure they are easily noticed during chart reviews. Hand-off Reports: During shift changes, highlighting critical information in hand-off reports ensures the incoming nurse is aware of the current status and any urgent needs of the patient.
