1:00 – 2:00 p.m.          Documentation: Friend or Foe 

 The time gap between delivery of patient care and depositions or trials for professional liability (medical malpractice) claims creates the need for an accurate, written description of services provided. The health information record is the primary legal document used to demonstrate that appropriate care was (or was not) provided. The quality of documentation renders this record as the “friend or foe” of the hospital, physicians, nurses and the entire healthcare team. This presentation will discuss documentation as an essential means of real time communication and then focus on the role it takes memorializing care provided to the patient. Specific examples of issues with documentation and suggestions regarding good practices will be discussed. The presentation will address both paper and electronic health information records.
