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.

Uncommon Champions Sleep When They’re Dead

If you have ever seen an elephant secured by a rope attached to a stake outside a tent at a circus, you may have wondered why the elephant doesn't just pull it up with his strength.

The elephant learned as a youngster that vigorously attempting to pull free was futile and learned to believe for the rest of his life he cannot break free so he doesn't even try. Are there things that are holding you back that really don't have the power to do so?

We encounter limits every day and we have to either choose to accept or reject them. This message will inspire you to become all you can be and attack limitations that may be holding you back. To reach the purpose set before you, you must pull up the stake and start running.

Evaluating Health Literacy in Contemporary Organizations

Low literacy is associated with several adverse health outcomes, including low health knowledge, increased incidence of chronic illness, poorer intermediate disease markers, and less than optimal use of preventative health services. Only 12% of adults are considered to have proficient health literacy according to a report in Modern Healthcare (2013). More than one third of all U.S. adults, which is about 77 million people, are categorized as having basic or below-basic levels of health literacy, according to data collected by federal agencies. The Health and Human Services Action Plan to Improve Health Literacy (May, 2010) focuses on strategies to reduce jargon in medical literature and making health-related websites more usable by providing more easy-to-follow health recommendations to the public. Interventions to mitigate the effects of low literacy have been studied, and some have shown promise for improving patient health and receipt of health care services.

  • I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Rachel for ten years. She is a consummate professional in everything she does. She's one of the smartest, knowledgeable, and experienced legal nurse consultant and trainers in the business. Her presentations and conferences are exceptional. Rachel and her team are easy to work with, very accessible and hands-on so the whole experience is very enjoyable. I would highly recommend Rachel as a public speaker, lecturer, or as a resource or mentor for any nursing practice policies or standards.
