Emergency Chart Templates Improve Patient Safety

The system includes a series of templates designed to improve patient safety, reduce medical errors, and reduce risk in the practice of emergency medicine.

PromptCharts EM for Nurses, an emergency medical record template system developed by The Sullivan Group (TSG, Oakbrook Terrace, IL, USA), supports nurses in taking a more proactive role in recognizing clinical indicators for high-risk patient complaints. The charts also facilitate coordination between the physician and the nursing team during the patient encounter. The system contains over 20 nursing PromptCharts addressing a variety of high-risk complaints.

Real-time bedside risk management is an absolute fundamental in the overall cycle of patient safety and medical error reduction, said Dr. Daniel Sullivan, founder and chief executive officer of TSG. While most template systems were created with billing and coding in mind, PromptCharts were designed to enhance patient safety and prevent errors. PromptCharts have already had a significant impact in this regard as a tool for physicians, and we are confident that PromptCharts for Nurses will further support hospitals in delivering exceptional levels of documentation while improving patient safety and reducing risk.

PromptCharts templates provide a medical record tool that allows physicians and
nurses to provide real-time risk management at the bedside, prompting and guiding the practitioner through the key clinical indicators for all high-risk patient complaints.
