There are several strategies that can help mitigate the risks associated with overreliance on memory:
Checklists and protocols: Utilizing standardized checklists can ensure that critical steps are not missed. Electronic Health Records (EHRs): Implementing and effectively using EHRs can facilitate accurate and timely documentation. Ongoing education and training: Regular training can help nurses stay updated on best practices and improve their skills. Team collaboration: Encouraging a culture of teamwork can help distribute cognitive load and reduce the burden on individual memory.
