Tip Tuesday #0906

Every week, we share what we call, "Tip Tuesday." These are bits of best practices to help awesome clinicians even better in documenting. We came about calling them tips because they are not anything new but simple reminders of the simple things that tend to be overlooked. We hope you find our tips refreshing.

Always refer to the Plan of Care for specific diet requirements before the first follow up visit. If the Plan of Care has not been completed yet, consult with your case manager, the assessing clinician, or the doctor. This will equip you to teach the patient on the appropriate diet and nutrition requirements, and will allow you to document accurately.
