Transforming Clinical Documentation in EHRs for 2020: Recommendations from University of Minnesota's Big Data Conference Working Group.

In 2014, a group of diverse informatics leaders from practice, academia, and the software industry formed to address how best to transform electronic documentation to provide knowledge at the point of care and to deliver value to front line nurses and nurse leaders. This presentation reports the recommendations from this Working Group geared towards a 2020 framework. The recommendations propose redesign to optimize nurses' documentation efficiency while contributing to knowledge generation and attaining a balance that ensures the capture of nursing's impact on safety, quality, yet minimizes "death by data entry."
