Recently I came across an article in Physicians News Digests that I wish every healthcare provider would read. So many times, when reviewing a client’s chart notes, I’m stunned to come across casual comments that I know will prove to be very damaging for my client when he or she gets to a hearing. After many conversations with doctors and nurses, I’m convinced that what goes into chart notes is done with very little thought (and sometimes very little understanding) of its impact in other settings.
