Hi Angel, We have been live with EDM for about 4 years. We do staff a few ED Techs and LPN's both of which are able to document patient assessments, but their assessments must be cosigned by an RN. As for downtime, we revert back to our old paper assessment. Any patient started on paper remains on paper, we do not enter information into the system once it is back up. It saves on confusion and time. As far as acuity level, with the assessments being chief complaint driven, the higher the acuity and more critical the patient, the more documentation marked as required. This serves as a reminder to staff that certain things should be done. Hope this helps and good luck Dana Pfingstler, RN Nursing Analyst Elk Regional Health Center St Marys, PA 15857 814 788-8682 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- The information contained in this e-mail is private and confidential and is intended only for the person or entity to whom it is addressed.

Do any sites vary documentation expectation by patient acuity level ? Do your ED Techs or other non-licensed staff document in EDM ? What do you have in place for downtime policy and forms ? Do you enter back in, the documentation collected during downtime on paper ? If so, who does this ?
