KMCU WEBINAR THE LIFE CYCLE OF A PATIENTS CHART

Course overview

Apply best practices for using abbreviations, addressing legibility, authentication of signatures, and managing the day-to-day flow of your patient records. Clearly delineate the beginning and end of episodes of patient care, proper recording of these episodes, and boundary discussions with patients. Locate and utilize the definitions of medically necessary care, and apply it as a differentiator from clinically appropriate care. Assess documentation across the life cycle of the patient's chart from history to discharge and on through maintenance and wellness care based on live examples demonstrated. Identify the deficiencies that may be present in your documentation through the eyes of an auditor.
