Session Description
Medical documentation needs to be reviewed regularly with teams to help them stay on top of basic processes, in addition to provide understanding around updated guidelines. As an example, Informed consent to medical treatment is fundamental in both ethics and law. Patients have the right to receive information and ask questions about recommended treatments so that they can make well-considered decisions about care. Successful communication in the patient-physician relationship fosters trust and supports shared decision making and reduces medical errors. This session will cover documentation, common error case examples, provide tools for risk assessment and give insight to help attendees identify gaps in their current processes.
