Maintaining Integrity With Computerized Records

Jose Martinez an RN working on the evening shift was approached by one of the nursing assistants who said, “My sister was admitted to the Birth Room just before I came on the shift. Would you check the computer and see if she has had the baby yet? I think it will appear on the new admissions.” Jose replied, “I wish I could help you. I know how anxious you have been about your sister. But remember, none of us can access the computer for information if we are not involved in that person’s care. But I can watch your patients for you so that you can go to the mother–baby area and see if you can talk with her or a family member there.”
