Delayed Charting/Chart Entry

What is the length of time that nursing staff are able to access charts on previous patients to complete or correct documentation at other facilities? Our current policy is 72 hours but this makes it difficult for nurses to correct documentation in a timely manner. Interested in what other facilities allow. Thanks!
