Résumé
Nursing documentation is essential to communicate patient care delivery. This review explores available evidence on the contribution of nursing documentation toward quality care delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nine articles were evaluated for at least one of the 6 factors of quality (eg, safe, timely, equitable, patient-centered, effective, and efficient). Analysis suggests that right-sizing documentation for optimal care quality requires continued efforts to reinforce the value and need of nursing documentation as a primary data source. Continued practice and research efforts are needed to reframe nursing documentation's essential role in benefiting a patient's current and future health care needs.
