Getting behind on charting after a long and busy day in a Critical Care setting is easy for any fellow, but the results can be catastrophic. Since patient notes can impact new staff at shift turnover, your interviewers must be assured that you would always prioritize your charting during each shift, even when time gets busy.

"I learned a few lessons on the timeliness of patient charting during residency training and made it a priority in my final years of residency training. I will bring great habits to your Critical Care fellowship. As an Intensivist, I know how reimbursement by third-party payers can be affected by incomplete charts and incorrect coding. Just as important is the need for accuracy, and attempting to remember specifics from a procedure or rounds can become spotty if too much time has passed."

Speak openly and honestly about how your prioritized your patient charting during residency training and push your answer further by highlighting any direct feedback you received on your charting skills from faculty. If your charting/dictation wasn't always timely, it is okay to bring that up as long as you can express what you learned from it moving forward into Critical Care fellowship training.
