Nurses can now document on the nursing note when a warm handoff has occurred.
Information on printing and distribution
of the nursing note is included as a mouse over hint .
Nursing instructions are now required on the Post-Hospital Patient Care Plan (PHPCP).
Unnecessary or redundant prompts have been eliminated.
