Real-time documentation is critical for several reasons:
Accuracy: Capturing information as it happens reduces the risk of inaccuracies. Efficiency: Streamlines workflow by integrating documentation into the care process. Continuity of Care: Facilitates seamless handoffs between healthcare providers. Legal Protection: Provides a clear, chronological record that can be crucial in legal situations. Patient Safety: Ensures that all healthcare team members have access to the most current information.
