This module provides speech-language pathologists with best practices in documentation for the acute care setting. Through a series of case studies, learners will understand how to address and integrate appropriate documentation that clearly communicates the patient’s status to other team members, aligns with standards, and characterizes legally credible documentation. Strategies for using objective measures to assess and document changes in a patient’s condition will be addressed. Pitfalls in documentation will be described, including the legal definition of negligence and documentation practices that can put you at higher risk for liability.
