| description | <p class="p1">The purpose of this quality improvement initiative was to analyze how nurses record their workload in the GRASP Workload Measurement System and document the end-of-life nursing care provided to imminently dying patients. The analysis was done in conformity with the Comfort Measures Order Set in our hospital. Nursing documentation was examined (n = 4 patient records) covering 15 oncology nursing shifts. Nurses are expected to complete the GRASP tool after each shift for all the patients in their care. It is presumed that nurses’ workload data will be reported accurately and reliably, as well as interrelate with their nursing documentation. Workload audits are conducted routinely to ensure accuracy. Interrater Reliability Monitoring was used to analyze the degree of agreement between the ratings performed on the audit of the completed GRASP tool and the nursing documentation on end-of-life care delivered. The GRASP compliance rate was 66.6% and GRASP-documentation accuracy rate was 60–70%. These observations were below the established target of 90%. The results provide insight regarding any gaps between documentation and GRASP at end of life.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> |
