Comments from a legal nurse consultant who watched this webinar
I found the information on the definitions very helpful since we see these terms quite regularly in the hospital (meaningful use, CPOE). I also found helpful the reinforcement that the doctor should be entering the medication reconciliation for the patient on admission and discharge. It is routine that the physicians will attempt to ask the nurse to do this and to also enter the orders when they are physically present in the building. Becky, in her webinar, reinforced this very important fact. Laura Ellis Waretown New Jersey
