AbstractOptional nursing documentation in electronic health records may serve as a marker of a nurse's concern and could be predictive of a patient's risk of a poor outcome. A US study has found a statistically significant association between nurses recording more optional comments and vital signs, and patient death and cardiac arrest. Nurses should be aware of increased documentation as a possible predictor of patient deterioration.
