Which of the following is a disadvantage of computerized charting?
a. Ability to aggregate data
b. Improved access to health record
c. Standardized charting
d. Preset activities that can be coded
ANS: C
A major drawback for nursing is that use of computerized documentation systems based on medical code numbers often forces nurses to use classification systems designed to describe medical practice instead of describing nursing assessment and care of clients. With this method of charting, the richness of the nursing care provided often goes undocumented. Ability to aggregate data, improved access to health record, and preset activities that can be coded are advantages of computerized charting.
