Movies, Emoticons and Storytellers: Things to Avoid When Writing Your PCR

How many times have you heard the horror stories about those individuals behind in finishing their patient care reports (PCRs)?  Typically, these individuals are not behind by one or two but sometimes, ten, twenty or even more.  Ugh.  How can anyone recall the patient interaction from ten days prior?  That's absolutely impossible (sorry for the editorial comment).  While most states have rules for timely completion, the question remains as to how well this is policed and to be honest, why must something as important as report writing be put on the back burner?  Yes, I know, your organization runs call after call but timely report writing is part of the patient care process and it is your responsibility to get them completed.  In this episode of The QMC Board & Collar we'll take a quick look at how to avoid life's simple distractions that will hopefully, help you get those PCRs completed on time.
