Documentation is involved in all categories of Nursing, including bedside, faculty/ staff, administration.

The Interdisciplinary team aligns with accurate documentation and integrates with other information from the inter-professional team resulting in favorable outcome of patient care.

Reasons why Documentation is important for communicating with the Health Team Include:

- Accreditation

- Credentialing

- Research

- Regulatory

- Legislative

- Reimbursement

- Electronic Health Care Record

“If it’s not documented, it’s not done, even if it was done.”
