HealthcareClinical Documentation4HighNurse$ implied
Nurses are backdating documentation in the EMR to cover up missed wound assessments, with no clear way to prevent or detect this falsification.
The EMR allows users to manually change the documentation time, and although it logs the actual time signed, there is no alert or prevention mechanism to stop backdating or ensure documentation is entered timely.
