​ All entries in the medical record regardless of form or format must be permanent (manual or computerized records). ​ For hard copy/paper records facilities shall document in black ink only. ​ No other colored ink should be used in the event any part of the record needs to be copied.
Just curious what the rest of you non-computer nurses are doing? In the dark ages, before computers, faxes, etc., it was also stressed to not write in blue ink, only black, because when charts were copied the blue ink didnt copy as well.
Practicality: The white dress and cap were often impractical for the demands of modern nursing. Nurses now wear scrubs, which are more comfortable, easier to clean, and allow for greater mobility during patient care. Infection Control: The white uniforms were difficult to keep clean and free from stains.
Ideally, all entries in the medical record should be made in black ink. This would make it simple to produce a photoreproduction and ensure that the subsequent copies would be legible.
Nurses typically write paper-based medical records using black ink. This practice is standardized to ensure clarity and consistency across medical documentation. Black ink provides better readability when photocopied or scanned, which is crucial for patient records.
