Re: Documentation for IV's

[RRS2000]

As with any other situation in which nurse to nurse report is required, the hospital nurse can have the chart in hand during the conversation to facilitate continuity of care.  The SNF nurse's documentation of the details of the conversation - in this case, the IV information - is the SNFs documentation to support the MDS coding.  This documenttion should include the name of the nurse report was received from.

Nurse to nurse is good IF; the nurse at the hospital that has the time,
knows the patient (Isn't a temp, or "1st time I've had them") and we still
need documentation for all those nice folks who audit us!
