The purpose of this program is to supply health care providers with a basic understanding of the importance of accurate, timely and thorough documentation for patient care and for risk management. The program will discuss how the medical record fulfills three important functions: first, it provides information about the patient's current condition, treatment response, and progress. Second, it serves as a legal record of the care provided. Third, it provides information used for reimbursement by third party payers. |
