 How to Implement Documentation Best Practices in Long-Term Care

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.

Upcoming Webinars

Plan of Correction Writing That Holds Up Under Review

July 2026

A strong Plan of Correction is more than a response to a citation. It is a facility’s written evidence that leadership understands the deficient practice, identified the root cause, corrected the issue, and put systems in place to prevent recurrence. This webinar will walk through the core elements of an effective POC, common mistakes that weaken credibility, and how to connect corrective actions to monitoring, accountability, and sustained compliance.

Managing Antipsychotics in Long-Term Care: Documentation, Risk, and Regulatory Expectations

August 2026

Antipsychotic management remains a high-risk area for nursing homes, especially when documentation does not clearly support clinical decision-making, gradual dose reduction efforts, behavioral interventions, or resident-specific monitoring. This session will review practical strategies for strengthening antipsychotic oversight, improving interdisciplinary communication, and reducing risk related to unnecessary medications, behavioral health documentation, and survey scrutiny.

Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and Behavioral Health: Strengthening Care Planning and Staff Response

September 2026

Caring for residents with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and behavioral health needs requires a consistent, individualized, and interdisciplinary approach. This session will focus on behavior identification, non-pharmacological interventions, trauma-informed care considerations, documentation expectations, and staff communication. Participants will learn how gaps in assessment, care planning, and follow-through can increase regulatory risk and affect resident safety.
