I agree.  Each department writes their own summary in their notes &
nursing puts one in the interdisciplinary notes.  The other departments
make their changes on the care plans as well as input the data into the
computer when they need to be rerun.  We each have enough to do on our
own without doing someone else's job.

  I agree that each team member should be responsible, but facility
policy, and have been unable to change it for the past 6 years.  One
does what one does to survive.
