“When I saw the ENDS system I thought FINALLY, someone has produced a useable, comprehensive nursing documentation. The ENDS system provides a way to accurately and easily document nursing assessment and the nursing process. After we implemented ENDS we saw a 13% increase in our billing. This increase has been sustained. I can only contribute this to ENDS. The design of the documentation allows us to easily see the care provided to patients. This assures we are billing appropriately for those services. It is far better than the check sheet approach we used to use.”
Trudy Meehan, RN, CEN
"ENDS has dramatically improved the quality of my documentation. Documentation is easier and faster, enabling me to spend more time at the bedside, while it accurately reflects the care I have given. I love it."
Rachel Davis, RN
Staff Nurse
"We began using the ENDS Nursing Documentation in December of 2000 and we couldn't be happier. We love the charting. It has greatly improved our documentation. The staff of ENDS are always just a phone call away and are pleasant and helpful when needed. They encourage each facility to adapt their product to meet their own individual needs. I feel this is the best charting money we have ever spent and would HIGHLY recommend the ENDS documentation and staff to anyone looking to improve and simplify their documentation process."

"The ED nursing staff has been extremely satisfied with the nursing template documentation system and would not want to go back to previous documentation systems. The support from ENDS staff has been great!"

"Communication is the one most important skill and activity that nurses use with their patients. ENDS provides a way to communicate the care to others. ENDS puts on paper what nurses think and do in a quick and easy format for effective communication to others during patient care. ENDS provides documentation that is critical to legal-ethical issues, patient out-comes, and continuing quality improvement process."
