A med-surg nurse is required to write an end-of-shift summary for every patient, adding a burdensome documentation task without understanding its purpose, and feels it could unfairly impact performance evaluations.

Existing shift summary tools do not integrate seamlessly into the nurse's workflow and fail to clarify the value of the documentation, making it feel like pointless busywork that may affect raises.
