Several factors contribute to documentation errors:
Time Constraints: Nurses often work under significant time pressure, which can lead to hurried, incomplete, or inaccurate documentation. Fatigue: Long shifts and insufficient rest can impair a nurse's cognitive function, resulting in mistakes. Lack of Training: Inadequate training on documentation protocols can lead to errors. Complex Systems: Complicated electronic health record (EHR) systems can be difficult to navigate and may increase the likelihood of errors.
