Complete nursing records enable effective communication between medical personnel andcan improve the maintenance of patient care quality. Our Hemodialysis Center, which preparedhemodialysis records by hand, regularly experienced incomplete records. Therefore, a projectteam conducted a hemodialysis record survey and found that 19.5% of hemodialysis recordswere incomplete. We subsequently conducted interviews and generalized the results, fromwhich the causes of incompletion were identified: (a) the time for providing and recording thehemodialysis care overlapped each other, which renders the nursing personnel to haveinsufficient time to record properly; (b) nursing personnel did not make records immediatelyafter the hemodialysis treatments and often forgot to complete them; (c) there were multipletypes of forms that were not integrated and evaluated for effectiveness; (d) the hemodialysisrecord forms were small and easily missed; and (e) the nursing personnel were not providedwith a standard for recording their observations during the process. To alleviate these problems,the process of recording hemodialysis observations were simplified, record-writing standardswere formulated and implemented, a hemodialysis record information system was created,programs for continuing education on hemodialysis observational recordings were hosted, evaluation times of the information system were scheduled, and incentives for using the information system were implemented. After the aforementioned measures were followed,the percentage of incomplete hemodialysis records decreased from 19.5% to 3.8%. Byimplementing the project, we improved the incompletion rate of hemodialysis records andelevated patient safety as well as the care quality of hemodialysis patients. |
