Greetings!
In this issue of the LNCtips.com newsletter, we talk about how to read really bad handwriting.
|

As nurses, we've all had to deal with physicians and
others who have really bad handwriting. In a clinical situation, the nurse
can speak with the physician to ask for clarification of, say, orders that are
illegible. It's not as easy once a lawsuit is being contemplated or has
been filed. Deciphering horrible handwriting from
medical records is a skill that many legal nurse consultants learn through trial and error. Click here for some
tips to help new LNCs who are trying to figure out illegible handwriting.
