Interdisciplinary documentation of patient education: how collaboration can effect change.

Changing healthcare trends are affecting all healthcare providers today, including those at Hillside Rehabilitation Hospital. Computerizing the interdisciplinary documentation of patient information was one change Hillside's leaders implemented to remain competitive and cost-effective. The benefits of moving from a handwritten documentation system to a computerized system were many. However, unforeseen difficulties with retrieving data became evident because the system was not developed to accommodate information about patient education. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, staff identified areas for improvement and made changes to the documentation process. They developed a "traveling card" for documenting patient education and then met a new set of challenges. The new documentation system met departmental and Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations requirements for comprehensive patient education and documentation.
