Not a nurse but an allied healthcare profesional in an outpatient setting. I am on progressive return to work (from home) following a long term medical leave and I find myself behind on charting as I work fewer hours (10.5 hours/week) and handle administrative tasks (booking patients, updating waiting lists, reminding patients and rescheduling their appointments if necessary). This week I screwed up charting, I had a note pending for 8 days, and I got an email from quality control saying I need to approve my notes within 48 hours (as per policy). I got distracted with administrative tasks and this chart note was pending for so long and I am simply not sure how to explain this delay. Quality control said they stumbled upon this while doing "routine quality control checks" and I fully agree that this is one is entirely on me, I am simply not sure if my other collegues are being scrutinized by quality control the way I am. I am afraid if I ask around to try and find out someone might snitch on me. Also, no matter how I explain this delay, they will find a way to pin this on me. Has anyone else been in this situation? How did you end up handling this?   submitted by   /u/ToothDisastrous8417 [link]   [comments]
