Nursing Documentation Strategies: Legal Requirements and Reality Based

If you were required to testify in court in defense of the care you provided to a patient, would your documentation be adequate to protect you from legal liability? If the care you provided came under scrutiny months or years after it occurred, would your documentation enable you to accurately describe the standard of care delivered to the patient? If you are not absolutely certain, you do not want to miss this program!


During this in-depth, interactive seminar, you will have the opportunity to review real court cases and learn from the actual testimonies provided by nurses’ depositions. Rachel Cartwright, an independent legal nurse consultant, with over 29 years of clinical, management, and consulting experience, will provide you with the information you need to ensure that your documentation, whether hand-written or electronic, depicts a level of care that meets or exceeds applicable standards.


Learn how to identify and avoid risky documentation and integrate practice that will keep your license unblemished. What you learn will be immediately applicable to your practice and may keep you out of the courtroom.
