NEW Webinar! Documentation for the Win: Recordkeeping Practices to Reduce Litigation Risk 

Join NCHCFA for an upcoming webinar sponsored by Young Moore and Henderson, P.A. – Documentation for the Win: Recordkeeping Practices to Reduce Litigation Risk on September 10 from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. 

What you document—and what you leave out—can become critical evidence when a resident, family member, surveyor, or attorney starts asking questions. This program is designed to leave attendees with practical documentation tips they can use on their very next shift—and a better understanding of how today’s chart could become tomorrow’s evidence. 

Learning objectives include: 

• Identifying the four essentials of defensible documentation: timeliness, accuracy, objectiveness, and authentication 
• Avoiding common charting mistakes and documentation pitfalls that can undermine an otherwise defensible case 
• Strengthening documentation of changes in condition, medication administration, noncompliance, falls, wounds, and hospital transfers 
• Learning practical strategies for creating a clear, credible medical record that supports resident care and the facility’s defense if litigation occurs 
• Understanding how consistent record retention and preservation practices can protect the facility when a claim or litigation arises 
• Recognizing when records and related information may need to be preserved, protected from alteration or destruction, and escalated to leadership or counsel in connection with a potential claim
