Summary:
The medical record of a resident is a reflection of the care provided. As a member of the healthcare team, the DON wants the medical record to be a true representation of the quality of services the resident received. In order to accurately portray these services, your staff’s charting skills need to be continually fine-tuned. This session will provide the DON/Nurse Manager with tips and guidelines of charting. Documentation principles to support skilled nursing for Medicare PPS are discussed and risk factors for medical review. “Take aways” from this session include a variety of documentation resources including a streamlined interdisciplinary teaching record.
