Documentation - Strategies to Reduce Denials and Deficiencies - Home Health

Overview:

If you don’t document it, it wasn't done!   Every healthcare person learned that in their first day of class…..but for many reasons, documentation is often very weak in healthcare and home health has even more challenges – field staff and are all over geographically, productivity needs to be high, and many more reasons. 

We will go over documentation strategies and tips so that your field staff and managers can be reminded of all to document. 

I present the errors in many examples seen in agency’s patient clinical records, so that it is very relatable for participants.
