How to Implement Documentation Best Practices in Long-Term Care

This webinar is exclusively for facilities, government, and associations. 

Strong documentation is one of the most important foundations of quality care, regulatory compliance, and survey readiness in long-term care. In this webinar, Linzie Bugg, QIA, RN, BSN, SMQT, will walk through practical documentation standards that help nursing home teams strengthen accuracy, consistency, and defensibility across the resident record.

 

Drawing on her experience as a former multi-state nursing home surveyor, Linzie will discuss why documentation continues to be a common area of risk, how incomplete or vague entries can affect survey outcomes, and what facilities can do to better capture the care being provided. The session will cover timely charting, objective and factual entries, standardized terminology, complete follow-up documentation, and proactive record review. Attendees will also hear real-world examples of common documentation pitfalls and how to improve them in a way that supports resident care, interdisciplinary communication, and compliance expectations.
