LECTURE OBJECTIVE
• Purpose of documentation
• Impact on regulatory requirements, reimbursement and litigation
• List 3 charting tips to assure documentation is accurate and correct
• State 3 legal aspects of nursing documentation

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
• Regulations based on state and federal legislation or statutes (THE LAW!)
– Following the law reduces the likelihood that you will be found negligent in a lawsuit, your license will be jeopardized or your employer’s license will be at risk!
![Page 4: DOCUMENTATION - Underpaidnurse's Blog | There Are No … · · 2010-11-09Documentation Formats •POMR (Problem Oriented Medical Record) ... •Each discipline make their problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021819/5abf9dbf7f8b9a7e418e5dfe/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
PRACTICE GUIDELINES
• Practice guidelines are not the Law, but they do establish the standard of your peers
against which you are measured in a legal action
![Page 5: DOCUMENTATION - Underpaidnurse's Blog | There Are No … · · 2010-11-09Documentation Formats •POMR (Problem Oriented Medical Record) ... •Each discipline make their problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021819/5abf9dbf7f8b9a7e418e5dfe/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
FACILITY POLICIES & PROCEDURES
Policies and procedures are not the law. They are guidelines to help your facility approach
situations consistently however, they are not a substitute for your professional judgment in a
specific situation.

REIMBURSEMENT:PAY 4 PERFORMANCE
• Evidence of the care provided.
• Evidence of quality of care.
• Evidence of necessary and ordered care.
• Failure to document results in loss of
reimbursement!

CBE
• Chart By Exception
– Uses flow sheets
– You only chart exceptions to the norm
– Uses checklists
– This is a time when narrative notes are beneficial.
![Page 29: DOCUMENTATION - Underpaidnurse's Blog | There Are No … · · 2010-11-09Documentation Formats •POMR (Problem Oriented Medical Record) ... •Each discipline make their problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021819/5abf9dbf7f8b9a7e418e5dfe/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Electronic Medical Charts
• These contain information identical to CBE
• Nurses run through a series of flow sheets with check boxes and mark those boxes when their status is WNL after initial assessments.
• You only make notations when there is a variance.

Practice Charting Scenario
• How do you document your assessment and interventionm?
– No matter what the facility will use from checklists to full narrative notes, you need to be sure to include the most important details.
– Include the 5 w’s and an h
• Who , What, Where, Why and How.

Patient Handoffs/ Shift Reports
• Critical that all information is communicated between caregivers.
• Communication breakdown are a leading cause of medical errors
• The key to stopping these problems is a clearly defined communication process
![Page 33: DOCUMENTATION - Underpaidnurse's Blog | There Are No … · · 2010-11-09Documentation Formats •POMR (Problem Oriented Medical Record) ... •Each discipline make their problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021819/5abf9dbf7f8b9a7e418e5dfe/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
What Is A Handoff?
• Handoffs occur anytime there is a transfer of responsibility for a patient from one caregiver to another. The goal of the handoff is to provide timely, accurate information about a patients care plan, treatment, current condition and any recent or anticipated changes.

Types of Handoffs
• The difinition of “handoff is purposefully broad to encompass the huge assortment of handoffs that occur across the healthcare setting.
• In Hospitals:– Nurse shift change
– Dr’s transferring responsibility for a patient
– Temporary relief of coverage (BreakTime!)
– Anesthesiologist report to PACU nurse
– Nursing and physician handoff from the ED to inpatient units.

More Instances for Handoffs
• Primary Care physician to hospital admission department
• Patient transfer from one hospital to another
• Patient transfer to a SNF
• Relay of lab and radiology reports to the PCP after discharge
• Patient Information to Home Health Care
• Educating the patient and family upon discharge to home
• Discharge summary information from hospital to PCP

10 Barriers to effective Handoffs
1. Lack of education at nursing and medical schools2. Health care system that historically has supported individual autonomy and
performance3. Lack of engagement of patients and families in the care process4. Resistance of change among staff5. Lack of time for providers to devote to handoffs6. Problems in the physical setting, including background noise and interruptions7. Language barriers between clinicians and between the clinician and the patient.
It is also important for clinicians to avoid abbreviations and ambiguous terminology
8. Failures in mode of communication, such as fax machine, email or inability to locate the patient record
9. Lack of definitive scientific research and data to identify accepted handoff best practices
10. Lack of financial resources to implement standardized handoff proccesses
![Page 41: DOCUMENTATION - Underpaidnurse's Blog | There Are No … · · 2010-11-09Documentation Formats •POMR (Problem Oriented Medical Record) ... •Each discipline make their problem](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021819/5abf9dbf7f8b9a7e418e5dfe/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
10 Tips for effective handoffs
1. Allow for face-to-face handoffs whenever possible2. Ensure two-way communication during the handoff process3. Allow as much time as necessary for handoffs4. Use both verbal and written means of communication5. Conduct handoffs at the patient bedside wheneve3r possible. Involve patients
and families in the handoff process. Provide clear information at discharge6. Involve staff in the development of handoff standards7. Incorporate communication techniques like SBAR in the handoff process.
Require a verification process to ensure that information is both received and understood
8. In addition to information exchange, handoffs should clearly outline the transfer of patient responsibilities from one provider to another
9. Use available technology, like EMR to streamline the exchange of timely accurate information
10. Monitor use and effectiveness of the hand off. Help streamline what works and doesn’t with management.
