Accurate nursing documentation has a central role in both quality care and revenue issues facing hospitals today. However, it is often difficult to complete documentation when nurses are faced with the completion of multiple care issues. This problem is no more evident than in the operating room. Comprehensive documentation requires not only time and effort on the nurse's part, but a dedication and belief in its imperative. Nurses must always keep in mind that the "results and benefits of nursing documentation are greater than the sum of the task itself. Documentation IS quality patient care".
