Improving drug charting practices and documentation among nurses in emergency department at a regional hospital, Bhutan: a quality improvement initiative

At the end of the project, the completeness of drug chart documentation improved from 45% to 98% and adherence to standard charting practices from 51% to 98% CONCLUSION: Medication transcription error is common and improving on incomplete drug chart and poor charting practices can reduce errors. Our results emphasise the importance of simple and cost-effective intervention in bringing and achieving the aim which could be implemented in other department and institutions.
