Nurses Lobby Congress for Patient Care Change | Capitol News Connection

Nurses Lobby Congress for Patient Care Change | Capitol News Connection:"Nurses from around the country are in Washington today lobbying for legislation that would change patient care policies and require hospitals to hire more nurses. They're seeking mandatory nurse-to-patient ratios similar to those of California. But they're getting very little Republican support for the idea."

Illegible Handwriting, Physician's Penmanship, Direct Patient Care on: The Nurse Friendly

Illegible Handwriting, Physician's Penmanship, Direct Patient Care on: The Nurse Friendly:"Poor legibility of doctors' handwriting may lead to prescription errors and problems with referral letters. Using computer technology to assess handwriting in an objective manner, a British survey compared doctors' handwriting with that of administrative staff and other healthcare professionals. Participants were asked to complete a form that contained boxes for the respondent's name, the 26 letters of the alphabet, and the digits 0-9. They were told that examples of handwriting were needed to test computer software for optical character recognition and were asked to write as neatly as possible"

Implementing a Legible Handwriting Policy - ACPE

Implementing a Legible Handwriting Policy - ACPE:"The medical profession has been willing to accept an incredibly poor standard of communication and, until recently, downplayed any suggestion that there is need for improvement. This attitude needs to be challenged and, if presented in a cooperative and collaborative manner, can be readily accepted by physicians."
