This is where we put in what exactly occurred in a call, what we did for the patient, the patient's response, their status upon endorsement and more. This is one of the legal documents that courts refer to in the event that something went wrong or complaints about care has been made. An accurate and professional documentation is the best protection a provider can have in such cases. In this tip of week, the podmedic provides an overview of the different types in which a narrative documentation can be made.
