Program Description: In hospice we are told to "paint the picture" of the
patient's condition to authenticate eligibility for admission and recertification. But, do we really understand how to paint the
picture? Most survey deficiencies can be traced to faulty documentation. Strategies to improve documentation include specific
verbiage to meet regulatory standards and a toolbox filled with descriptive and comparative words and phrases. This presentation
equips you to document assessments.
Presentation Date: 08.10.2017
