Legal Aspects of Nursing Documentation for DD providers


April 14, 2010
9:30 - 11:00 am
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.


How it will work:

One week prior to the webinar, you will receive an email with the toll-free number and access code for your contact person at the facility to enter the webinar, as well as any handout materials and continuing education request forms. The number and access code are only valid for one connection (phone line & computer) per each registered organization. Any additional connections will be billed the webinar registration fee.

Continuing Education Credits:

The programs is approved for one (1.0) hour of credit for nursing home administrators and nurses. Individual attendance will be monitored throughout the call. Only those attending the entire call will be awarded continuing education credit. All participants regardless of need for CEUs, will receive a certificate of attendance. Upon receipt of your request for continuing education form, certificates will be mailed to the facility.

How much does it cost?

Facilities will pay one low fee for an unlimited number of participants. However, the number and access code is valid only for one phone line/computer at the location registered with the Association. Any additional telephone #’s/computers calling in will be billed for the registration fee.

Have a conflict the day or time of the call or just want other shifts to be able to hear the program? This program is being recorded and a cd-rom along with the handouts is available for purchase. CEUs are not available for listening to the CD.

It is imperative that an email address is provided as this is where call in code and handout materials will be sent.
