Documentation Training That Teaches Hospice Nurses How to Paint the Picture
Most hospice nurses are familiar with the phrase “paint the picture” of eligibility and decline. Most hospice nurses struggle with understanding how to do this. We provide books and classes that give clear, practical instruction on techniques to make documentation “audit-proof”. The training focuses on techniques to change documentation from positive to negative with tons of example phrases that hospice nurses can use to clearly support eligibility. Call today to schedule one of our training packages for your team.
