In advanced team-based care models, clinical assistants, such as medical assistants (MA), and nurses, often perform both documentation and other clinical tasks in the course of patient care. For example, a nurse may obtain and record a patient’s vital signs and chief complaint, then shift to documenting clinical notes in partnership with the physician. In the course of the visit, the nurse or MA may switch frequently between these different tasks. There thus exists a myth that clinical support staff, such as nurses and medical assistants, are required to log out of the EHR , then log in again when switching task types for the purpose of clarifying role-specific activity in the event of an audit.
