After writing a strip, where should it be placed and kept up to date until EDST entry?

• A. Shredded immediately.
• B. Placed in the bay and kept up to date until EDST entry.
• C. Filed with the supervisor.
• D. Emailed to EDST.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is to keep the documentation where the work is happening and update it in real time until it is entered into EDST. Keeping the strip in the bay ensures it stays with the active workflow, making it immediately accessible for updates and review. This helps ensure the most current information is available when EDST enters the data, reducing errors and delays.

Shredding it immediately would lose important information, so that’s not acceptable. Storing it with a supervisor could move it out of the active workflow and slow down entry. Emailing the strip to EDST creates asynchronous flow and potential version-control issues. So, placing it in the bay and keeping it up to date until the EDST entry is made is the proper practice.
