I work on a unit the does endoscopy procedures. Before each procedure the staff does a time out to confirm, the correct patient, procedure, allergies, etc. We have been keeping a form to document the time out was done and also documenting in the patient's electronic medical record. Do we need to keep the form and for how many years or is a statement in the emr sufficient? Thank you for your help.
