[Accuracy of hospital nursing documentation: a multi-center observational study].

Introduction: In literature it is reported that accurate nursing documentation improves patients' outcomes but nursing planning data is seldom available. The accuracy of nursing documentation in hospitals has been assessed in many healthcare settings through the detection of three key elements of nursing decision-making: diagnoses, interventions and outcomes. However, studies conducted in Italy are scant and none of them have been conducted in Lombardy Region.
