Nurses are required to fill out nursing care plans in the EMR that they feel are pointless, time-consuming, and add clutter without benefiting patient outcomes or having legal value.

Current EMR care plan templates are rigid, generic, and not evidence-based; they generate documentation burden without clear value for patient care or legal protection.
