What begins as simple paperwork becomes a monster: 52% of nursing time swallowed by documentation, 15% of documents lost, and an annual $142,000 drain on agency finances. The paper problem isn’t sentimental—it’s existential.
Paper charting problems start with time theft and cascade into errors, lost documents, and compliance risk.
Paper charting negatives create physical strain, memory-based errors, lack of field access, and after-hours unpaid work—driving turnover and legal exposure.
nurses carry 10–15 lbs of paper; turnover cost ~$15,000 per nurse replacement.
delayed notes increase inaccuracies and liabilities.
critical orders inaccessible in the home; 31% of errors due to missing info.
unpaid documentation time drives retention problems (67% cite paperwork burden).
