Abstract

Documentation is a crucial component of safe and effective patient care. A priority for health care organizations is to ensure their electronic health record (EHR) systems are used safely and effectively. They should be clinically operational, user-friendly, and suit the needs of the end user (HealthIT.gov, 2017). If EHR templates do not exist, are not customized to the needs of the user, or are not user-friendly, risks of failing to maintain proper documentation exist (Mosher, Lose, Leslie, Pennathur, & Kaboli, 2015). The purpose of this project was to develop and implement an EHR template for obstetrical and postpartum nurses to document postpartum hemorrhages (PPH) that progress to Stages 2 and 3.
