Collaborative Development of a Standardized Order Form for Orthopaedics

摘要

Standardization of treatment parameters is key to facilitating accurate initiation of orthopaedic patient care. A standard ldquo;Postop Orthopaedic Ordersrdquo; form was developed via a collaborative effort among orthopaedic nurses, physicians, and unit secretaries. Its purpose was to improve the completeness of physicians' orders, efficiency of order transcription, and speed initiation of the therapeutic regime.
