In this episode you will learn:
- To differentiate between subjective (the patient's statements) and objective (measurable, observable facts) data for exam questions.
- The proper, legally-sound method for correcting a charting error is to use a single strikethrough, your initials, and the date.
- How to use direct quotations to accurately capture a patient's subjective complaints in their own words.
- That incident reports are for internal risk management and must NEVER be referenced in the official patient medical record.
- To avoid vague, judgmental, or falsified documentation, remembering the legal principle: "If you didn't document it, it didn't happen."
