Legal Aspects of Nursing Documentation for DD providers

Live Webinar
1 CEU for Administrators, Nurses
Good documentation 'offense' is the best defense in medical negligence liability suits, Board of Nursing investigations and even to avoid survey citations. Unfortunately, clear and thorough documentation is often the first thing to suffer when a nurse becomes very busy, which is usually the time when good documentation is most important and bad or incomplete documentation comes back to haunt the facility and the nurse.
This webinar will provide an overview of principles to live by with regard to nursing documentation in the long-term care and DD group home setting. The presenter will also address delegated nursing as well as common documentation problems, pitfalls and bad habits to avoid when documenting in a medical record.
