We are not automated on the regular nursing units yet and we do not have a dedicated observation unit; our OBS patients can be placed in any floor. This makes it more difficult because the nurses are caring for different types of patients with different documentaiton requirements. The things wwe are struggling most with for the charges is the start and stop times documented on minibags and large volume fluids. We have start times on our large volume fluids but no stop times and on the mini bags we only document on the MAR so have administration time but no exact start and stop time. If you are charging for these items on Observation patients are you willing to share how you are doing it. I would also be interested in whether you have a dedicated OBS unit. All help appreciated.
