The Role of Documentation Quality in Anesthesia-Related Closed Claims: A Descriptive Qualitative Study.
Computers, Informatics, Nursing : CIN 2016 September

However, many other uses for clinical documentation are equally important. Such documentation informs clinical decision support tools, creates a legal record of patient care, assists in financial reimbursement of services, and serves as a repository for secondary data analysis.
