Risk mitigation is a systematic process in which an organization proactively identifies potential litigation risks across the organization and plans necessary action steps to prevent events related to quality or safety from happening in the first place. Documentation plays a key role in the success of mitigating litigation risk. This session will review the ways documentation can prevent such risk and the common pitfalls and challenges that may lead to litigation.
Learning Objectives:
Describe the critical importance that documentation plays in mitigating litigation risks.
Discuss top reasons providers are finding themselves in litigation (falls, medication errors, COVID, etc.).
Identify how documentation can reduce your risk in the areas of involuntary discharge processes and ensuring appropriate admissions.
