Did you know that documentation content can determine the outcome of a recertification survey, complaint survey, audit or legal preceding?  Accurate, coordinated documentation by the hospice interdisciplinary team is more important than ever in the hospice care realm.  Join us to learn about the reasons for comprehensive coordinated documentation, how quality documentation is the role of every IDT member and the aspects of improving psychosocial documentation.  In a climate of heightened scrutiny on the hospice industry, no provider can afford to miss this session.
