September 20, 2011: Discharge Requires Documentation of Vaccinations
When a patient has one or more orders for required vaccinations that have not been documented in the eMAR (electronic Medication Administration Record), an RN must document the vaccination(s) as given or not given, as applicable, before discharge documentation can be printed. Discharge orders and instructions can be entered and saved; only printing is restricted.
