Documentation and reporting are important communication techniques for healthcare providers. Documentation provides a written record of interactions between healthcare professionals and clients, as well as test results, treatments, and client responses. Reporting involves sharing client care information between two or more people. The purposes of client records include communication, legal documentation, research, education, quality assurance, and reimbursement. Effective documentation is accurate, complete, organized, and uses common terminology and abbreviations. Common types of records include nursing assessments, care plans, flow charts, and progress notes.
Dear all,
Recording & Reporting are very important in the nursing profession. As a nurse, we have to be very conscious of it to prevent further complications.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

26. METHODS OF DOCUMENTATION
Narrative Charting
Source-Oriented Charting
Problem-Oriented Charting
PIE Charting
Focus Charting
Charting by Exception (CBE)
Computerized Documentation
Case Management with Critical Paths
27. TRADITIONAL CLIENT RECORD
– Describes the client’s status, interventions and treatments;
response to treatments is in story format.
– Narrative charting is now being replaced by other formats.
– Five Basic components of a Traditional Client Record
• Admission sheet
• Physician’s order sheet
• Medical history
• Nurse’s notes
• Special records and reports (referrals, X-ray, reports,
laboratory findings, report of surgery, anesthesia record,
flow sheets, vital signs, I&O,
28. Source-Oriented Charting
– Each person or department makes notations in a
separate section/s of the client’s chart.
– Narrative recording by each member (source) of the
health care team on separate records.
– Most Traditional
– Different disciplines chart on separate forms
– Each reader must consult various parts of the record to
get a complete picture
– Records become bulky
– For example the admission department has an
admission sheet, nurses use the nurses’ notes,
physicians have a physician notes, etc….
29. Problem-Oriented Medical Record(
POMR) /Nurse’s or narrative notes
(SOAPIE format)
Uses a structured, logical format called S.O.A.P.
•S - SUBJECTIVE. WHAT PT TELLS YOU.
•0 – OBJECTIVE. WHAT YOU OBSERVE, SEE.
•A – ASSESSMENT. WHAT YOU THINK IS GOING ON BASED ON YOUR
DATA.
•P – PLAN. WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO.
CAN ADD TO BETTER REFLECT NURSING PROCESS
•I–INTERVENTION(SPECIFICINTERVENTIONS IMPLEMENTED)
•E – EVALUATION. PT RESPONSE TO INTERVENTIONS.
•R – REVISION. CHANGES IN TREATMENT.
•Uses flow sheets to record routine care.
•SOAP entries are usually made at least every 24 hours on any unresolved
problem.
30. PIE Charting
• P: Problem statement
• I: Intervention
• E: Evaluation
Example:
• P: Patient reports pain at surgical incision as 7/10 on 0
to 10 scale
• I : Given morphine 1mg IV at 23:35
• E : Patient reports pain as 1/10 at 23:55.
31. Focus Charting (DAR)
– A method of identifying and organizing the narrative documentation of
all client concerns.
– Uses a columnar format within the progress notes to distinguish the entry
from other recordings in the narrative notes (Date & Time, Focus,
Progress note)
– DATA – SUBJECTIVE OR OBJECTIVE THAT SUPPORTS THE
FOCUS (CONCERN)
– ACTION – NURSING INTERVENTION
– RESPONSE – PT. RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION
Ex:
– D – COMPLAINING OF PAIN AT INCISION SITE , PS: 7/10
– A – REPOSITIONED FOR COMFORT. DEMEROL 50MG IM GIVEN.
– R – STATES A DECREASE IN PAIN, “FEELS MUCH BETTER.”
• Example of focus charting Date & Time Focus: Progress notes:
09.Sep.2013 Acute pain related to surgical incision D: Patient reports
pain as 7/10 on 0 to 10 scale. A: Given morphine 1mg IV at 2335. R:
Patient reports pain as 1/10 at 2355.
32. Charting by Exception (CBE)
– The nurse documents only deviations from pre-
established norms (document only abnormal or
significant findings).
– Avoids lengthy, repetitive notes.
33. Computerized Documentation
– Increases the quality of documentation and save
time.
– Increases legibility and accuracy.
– Facilitates statistical analysis of data.
34. Case Management Process
– A methodology for organizing client care through
an illness, using a critical pathway.
– A critical pathway is a multidisciplinary plan or
tool that specifies assessments, interventions,
treatments and outcomes of health related
problems a cross a time line.
35. Forms for Recording Data
• Kardex
• Flow Sheets
• Nurses’ Progress Notes
• Discharge Summary
36. • The Kardex is used as a reference throughout the shift and
during change-of-shift reports
• Client data (e.g name, age, admission date, allergy)
• Medical diagnoses and nursing diagnoses
• Medical orders, list of medications
• Activities, diagnostic tests, or specific data on the pt.
• Provides a concise method of organizing and recording data
about a client, making information readily accessible to all
members of the health team..
• It is a series of flip cards usually kept in portable .It is a way
to ensure continuity of care from one shift to another and
from one day to the next.to another.
• It is a tool for change – of – shift report But endorsement is
not simply reciting content of kardex. Health care needs of
the client is still primary basis endorsement.
37. Usually include the following data:
• Personal data
• Basic needs
• Allergies
• Diagnostic tests
• Daily nursing procedures
• Medications and intravenous (IV) therapy,
• Blood Medications and intravenous (IV) therapy, blood
transfusion
• Treatments like oxygen therapy, steam inhalation,
suctioning, change of dressings, mechanical ventilation
• Entries usually written in pencil. This implies the
kardex is for planning and communication purpose
only.
38. FORMS FOR RECORDING DATA
FLOW SHEETS:
• The information on flow sheets can be formatted to meet the specific
needs of the client.
(e.g.: graphic sheets for vital signs, intake & output record, skin assessment
record).
Nurses’ Progress Notes
• Used to document the client’s condition, problems and complaints,
interventions, responses, achievement of outcomes.
Discharge Summary
• Client’s status at admission and discharge.
• Brief summary of client’s care.
• Interventions and education outcomes.
• Resolved problems and continuing need.
• Referrals.
• Client instructions.
39. REPORTING
• Verbal communication of data regarding the
client’s health status, needs, treatments,
outcomes, and responses
• Reporting is based on the nursing process.
41. Reporting
Summary / Hand-Off Reports
Commonly occur at change of shift (or when client
care is transfers to another health care provider).
Walking Rounds Reports
• Occur in the client’s room
• Include Nursing, physician, interdisciplinary
team.
Incident or Occurrence Reports
• Used to document any unusual occurrence or
accident in the delivery of client care.
42. Reporting
Telephone Reports and Orders
• Provide clear accurate and concise information
• The nurse documents telephone report by including the following
information:
- when the call was made
- who made the call/report
- who was called
- to whom information was given
- what information was given
- what information was received
• Only RN’s may receive telephone orders
• The order need to be verified by reporting it clearly and precisely.
• The order should be countersigned by the physician who made the
order within the prescribed period of time (within 24 hours)
43. GENERAL DOCUMENTATION
GUIDELINES
– Ensure that you have the correct client record or chart.
– Document as soon as the client encounter is concluded to ensure
accurate recall of data.
– Date and time of each entry.
– Sign each entry with your full legal name and with your
professional credentials
– Do not leave space in between entries.
– If an error is made while documenting, use a single line to cross out
the error, then date, time and sign the correction
– Never change another person’s entry even if it is incorrect
– Use quotation marks to indicate direct client responses.
– Document in chronological order
– Use permanent ink
– Document all telephone calls that you received that are related to
client’s case.
44. Minimizing legal liability through
effective record keeping
• Date & time
• Timing
• Legibility
• Permanence
• Correct spelling
• Signature
• Accuracy
• Sequence
• Appropriateness
• Completeness
• Conciseness
• Accepted terminology 24 Hour Time
45. CORRECTING ERRORS
• IF YOU SPILL SOMETHING ON THE CHART, DO NOT DISCARD
NOTES. RECOPY, PUT ORIGINAL AND COPIED SHEETS IN CHART.
WRITE “COPIED” ON COPY.
• DO NOT SCRIBBLE OUT CHARTING.
• AVOID USING “ERROR” OR “WRONG PATIENT” WHEN MAKING
CORRECTION.
• FOLLOW YOUR FACILITIES POLICY.
• DO NOT ALTER CHARTING, IT IS A LEGAL DOCUMENT.
• Correct errors by drawing a single horizontal line through the error
• Write the word error above the line, then sign your signature
• No ink eradication, erasures or use of occlusive materials.
