Are there any facilities out there that require two nurse signatures when
transcribing an MD order (essentially a double-check)? We do require this and it has
not cut down on our transcription errors. I think the nurse's are just signing without
actually checking to see if it was transcribed correctly (obviously). Before I start a
campaign to drop this - I wanted to get a feel from you all on what you are doing?
Thanks in advance.
