Audience: Medical Records/HIM, CIO, CISO, In-House Counsel, DON, Administrator, Manager
Knowledge Level: Intermediate
Session details: Let’s face it, litigation is an inevitability in long term care. But your understanding of the EHR, how you manage your database and the workflows employed by staff, can have a material impact on discovery, deposition, and the trial outcomes. Not only does this impact the production of complete records for litigation, but also how staff respond in deposition. Understanding how you can optimize your system for success in litigation and implement setup and workflow processes to promote regulatory compliance AND defensibility in court is integral to this process and protecting the facility and the individual documenters making up your workforce.
When you complete this 2-part (3.5hr part 1 + 1hr lunch + 2.5hr part 2) session, you should be able to:
- Demonstrate the required shift in thinking of record keeping in digital formats and how that affects response to litigation
- Articulate what managing EHR data means within the context of producing records for review
- Identify and eliminate pitfalls to defense
- Adapt staff training to mitigate litigation risk from documentation.
Note: Participants should bring a laptop for hands-on activities.
Includes breakfast and lunch.

All Documentation is Legal Documentation, and all Documentation has the potential to be Evidence. Did you know 80-85% of all medical malpractice claims are determined based on the medical record alone? This means that in 80-85% of the time, your organization is dependent on the documentation your staff has completed to prove your case. Clear, complete, contemporaneous, and accurate documentation is the backbone of care delivery. Bad documentation can break the back of litigation and cost you money. In this session, we will review the regulatory requirements for documentation, what is the expected set of professional standards, provide guidance on the pitfalls of documentation, and also, share the impact of poor documentation on facilities’ litigation efforts. During this session we will discuss additional documentation requirements that you might not have thought of but should track during events such as COVID-19 to protect yourselves.

Registration for this presentation is NOT required.
The healthcare ecosystem is fragmented – a disjointed mix of providers, systems, and data that lack coordination, leading to higher costs, poor staff and patient experience, and inconsistent care. However, our mission is to connect providers across the continuum, making sure the right people get the right information when they need it to improve resident transitions of care and reduce re-admissions.
In this session, learn how PointClickCare Connect helps you tap into the provider network to improve resident transitions of care and reduce re-admissions by:
- Reviewing critical data, like progress notes or medications, allowing you to evaluate referrals with speed and confidence
- Seamless reconciliation of clinical data saving hours in your admissions process
- Real-time alerts when your discharged resident arrives at an ED allowing you to intervene

The unfulfilled promise of telemedicine has left many LTPAC providers disappointed. Technology challenges and poor adoption have resulted in lackluster results and poor clinical outcomes. But now, thanks to EHR integration, LTPAC providers are cracking the telemedicine code with dramatic results.
You’ll hear from Sound Physicians and HSM (Health Services Management) about the power of fully integrated Virtual Health to improve transitions of care to and from your community, treat more patients in place, support anxious patients and family members, and manage necessary returns to acute so residents can return to your community quickly, often without costly readmissions.
We’ll share anecdotes, case studies, data, and ROI information that may change your mind about telehealth. Whether you already have a telehealth solution or just looking to get started, you won’t want to miss this conversation.
Session Outcomes:
- Participants will be able to identify how integrated telehealth can improve clinical outcomes for patients during transitions of care, including admission, emergency department transfers, and discharge, and understand the organizational and financial benefits these improvements bring.
- Participants will understand the change management process for implementing an integrated telehealth program and the impact a program can make on all stakeholders, including frontline nurses, residents, families, referral partners, medical directors/attendings, and operators.
- Participants will be able to differentiate between integrated virtual health and standard telehealth solutions, evaluate the level of integration their current solution provides, and assess what changes they could make to improve the telehealth program in their community.
