Documentation Matters Toolkit

Documentation Matters Toolkit

Providers are responsible for documenting each patient encounter completely, accurately, and on time. Because providers rely on documentation to communicate important patient information, incomplete and inaccurate documentation can result in unintended and even dangerous patient outcomes. Accurate documentation supports compliance with federal and state laws and reduces fraud, waste, and abuse.
