Abstract:
Moshiokuri, or explaining what one did to one's successor before calling it a day, has long been regarded as a practice indispensable for the smooth continuation of nursing business. However, there has been much to be done in terms of efficiency. In our hospital, moshiokuri was taken up as a problem because it took long and prevented nurses from getting down to work by bedsides without delay. In 1994 the nursing record committee started to examine the practice and improvedthe roster. Later, the card indexing system for individuals was abolished. In 1998, the nursing department made the abolishment of moshiokuri practice its chief aim to improve nursing efficiency. For the attainment of the aim, the nursing record committee played an important role as a prime mover. While exchanges of information between wards were being promoted, study sessions were frequently held to enrich nursing records and improve the efficiency of nursing work. Thus, moshiokuri was partlydiscontinued and abolished totally in March, 1999. Now, the nurses have plenty of timecaring bed-ridden patients. Improvement has been made on the nursing record.
