Computer simulation training will be pertinent to the computer routines required to complete each documentation task accurately and efficiently. The Information Systems (IS) Director will ensure the simulations are current and relevant to the needs of each department within the hospital. Moreover, the simulations will provide a delineated process to complete forms, notes, and other documentation used within the hospital system. Further, the healthcare teams will have continuous access to the computer simulations library for use as a reference when solving documentation dilemmas. Lastly, several other resources such as posters, team emails, and employee question and answer sessions with hospital leadership will be enlisted to ensure patient safety and employee compliance with the new corrective action…
