Clinicians Documentation DriversCare of the patient is the primary concern

Good communication underpins every aspect of good medical practice –Documentation is a clinical communication tool!

Show respect for patients and not include demeaning or derogatory remarks

Recognise the patient’s right to access information within their record

Ensure sufficient information to facilitate continuity of care


Good Medical Practice: Standard 10.510.5 Medical records – Medical Practitioners

• Maintaining clear and accurate medical records is essential for the continuing good care of patients. Good medical practice involves:

10.5.1 Keeping accurate, up to date and legible records that report relevant details of clinical history, clinical findings, investigations, diagnosis, information given to patients, medication, referral and other management in a form that can be understood by other health practitioners.

10.5.2 Ensuring that your medical records are held securely and are protected against unauthorised access.

10.5.3 Ensuring that your medical records show respect for your patients and do not include demeaning or derogatory remarks.

10.5.4 Ensuring that the records are sufficient to facilitate continuity of patient care.

10.5.5 Making records at the time of the events, or as soon as possible afterwards.

10.5.6 Dating any changes and additions to medical records, including when the record is electronic.

10.5.7 Recognising patients’ right to access information contained in their medical records and facilitating that access.

10.5.8 Promptly facilitating the transfer of health information when requested by the patient or third party with requisite authority.

10.5.9 Retaining records for the period required by law and ensuring they are destroyed securely when they are no longer required.

Good Medical Practice – A Code of Conduct

The code of conduct is used to assist the Medical Board of Australia to evaluate a doctors’ professional conduct.

Where significant variation in professional practice occurs doctors need to be able to explain and justify their

decisions and actions against the requirements of the Good Medical Practice Standards

Case Study 1: Admission Note

29

You have been approached by the medical unit to provide documentation education to the new interns and current registrars. •This group has already attended documentation education at

orientation, which focused on the financial impact of documentation. •You have been asked to tailor the education to support documentation

requirements specific to this unit and focus on those elements that support continuity of care

Challenge 1 Clinician Requirement: You need to make it relevant to clinical cohort

Challenge 2 CDS & Coder Requirement: You want to ensure that education imparts information that the CDS and ultimately the Clinical Coders can use

You decide to make the admission note the focus of the documentation education


Q: Why use the admission note?A: It is a formative clinical document

30

Upon admission to ward a 4-hour management plan must be agreed between ED doctor and Admitting doctor

The plan may evolve in response to new information from results, the patient or from improvement or deterioration

The admission note records transfer of care, history of presenting complaint and management plan

Its primary function is as a clinical communication tool, and it forms the basis of subsequent medical officer progress notes

It establishes the base from which members of the care team provide care in the initial stage of the admission

Comprehensive admission notes form the basis of good discharge summaries!

Well written admission note provides information required to evidence the code assignment, supports coding practice and is a key document for CDS conducting concurrent documentation reviews

Standards AlignmentGMP Standards: 10.5.4 Ensuring records are sufficient to

facilitate continuity of care NSQHS 6.09: Communication at clinical handover -

consider minimum requirements at all transitions of care to support continuity of care

ASK: Is it achievable and related to the clinical role? We ask you to follow the documentation steps outlined in the Admission Note cheat sheet

This will support capture of the patients’ clinical status and communication of critical information to inform care

OFFER: What is in it for me? (Doctor)This will help streamline the documentation process as a clinical communication tool and to accurately reflect patients’

current status

RELEVANCE: How is this relevant to me? (Doctor)

You are responsible for writing a timely, comprehensive admission note for continuity of care


Admission Note Documentation Requirements

32

Specify kind, frequency, duration, current status

Identifies factors that may impact on care/ management

Name of prescribing doctor, last medication review, changes, dispensing pharmacy

Check the UR, Name, Age, Gender,confirm you are writing in the correct record Right Patient

Who is the patient, state their name and age, chronic conditions impacting on presentation, relevant social factors, cognition, external referrals/reason for admission, preferred name and gender identity

Brief Patient Introduction

What has happened in the last 24hrs: presenting complaint, symptoms, medications, treatment, response – improvement or response

Why is the patient here?

Onset, severity, degree, duration, aggravating factors, include clinical markers that are typical to the presentation and whether present or not present, clinical indicators, results, mechanism of injury?

HOPC

Provisional Diagnosis, differential diagnoses and additional diagnoses present on admission, relevant results Diagnoses

What is the current plan for treating patient, what are the goals of care, who is responsible for care, referrals, discharge planningManagement Plan

Chronic Illnesses and comorbidities, resolved, medications used to manage, overdose, self harm or suicide attempts, mental health history

Past Medical History

Procedures, hospitalisations, reason, complicationsSurgical History

All medications, over the counter, herbal remedies, type, frequency, compliance, changes, allergies, abuse of prescription, multi-resistance?Medications

Current and past history of alcohol, non-prescription steroids, street drugs, Drug Use

Work, activity, family, relationships, support, accommodation, cultural/religious issues, income (in general terms), housing, current and pre-morbid level of function

Social History

What else do I need to capture to inform care plan?

All aspects that help identify the severity of illness, potential points of clinical variation or increased risk

Confirmed diagnoses, results, source of confirmation, comorbidities impacting on care or being treated

Include timeframes, confirmed referrals/speciality consults or who is responsible for making them

Type, severity, active, well controlled, type and dosage of medications to treat, compliance, impact on life

Date, outcome, number, where performed & by whom

Last used, number, type and frequency, previous rehab, duration of cessation, setting of use, overdose, psychosis

Any social history issues or factors that have the potential to impact on patient care, readmission or compliance


Why does this approach connect with clinicians?

33

The focus is on the documentation components required for a good admission note, clinical decisions, clinical communication and safe care!

ü does not direct the clinician to document in a way maximise funding gainsü facilitates documentation practice to optimize the value for the documentation for

communication of criticalü Clearly describes minimum documentation requirements for admission note

ü Allows for documentation of the patients’ presentation & information based on information currently available and according to the clinical judgement

ü supports ongoing documentation improvementü complements clinician workflowü following this approach will capture detail and specificity to support code assignment

and reduce need for documentation queries

Medication Safety

Action 4.05 & 4.06Medication Reconciliation – document best possible medication history (BPMH) and review current orders against BPMH

Action 4.07 & 4.08Process in place for documenting history of medication allergies and adverse drug reactions (ADRs), document ADRs experienced during the episode of care

Action 4.10Perform medication reviews and document any actions taken as a result of medication reviews, identify and monitoring-related including those that have been prevented

Action 4.11Document in the healthcare records that patients and carers have been informed about the medicine; documentation may occur as a component of the consent process within the patient record or NIMC or MMP


Medication Safety & the BPMH

Documentation Improvement Education related to Medication Align with Actions 4.05 & 4.06 and supports relevance to clinical practice

A BPMH is essential for:• Ensuring continuity of medication management• Identifying medicine-related problems• Identifying potential medicine-related discrepancies• Informing the decision-making process• Optimising the use of medicines

Further alignment with 4.07 & 4.06 will encourage documentation practices that facilitate complete documentation of adverse events.


Comprehensive Care StandardAction 5.01Include guidance in policies and procedures regarding how to document comprehensive care, screening, assessments, findings, the outcome of shared decision making processes, agreed goal of care and comprehensive care plans

Action 5.04Design systems that support capture of comprehensive care, support clinicians to develop, document and communicate comprehensive care plans, ensure timely referral of patients with specialist health care needs

Action 5.05Apply the governance quality improvement system to monitor, implement and deliver comprehensive care – this includes ongoing data collection about outcomes such as length of stay, alignment of documented patient preferences with actual care, patient experiences and the prevalence of adverse events

Action 5.6Focuses on how clinicians collaborate to plan and deliver comprehensive care – this includes creation of documentation that reflects collaborative care and shared decision making


Communicating for SafetyAction 6.01Document policies, processes and tools for clinical communication, include details regarding when identification, procedure matching, structured clinical handover and communication of critical information and documentation are required.

Action 6.09Communication at clinical handover – consider minimum handover requirements at all transitions of care to support continuity of care

Action 6.11Ensure that relevant, accurate, complete and up-to-date information about a patients care is documented, and clinicians have access to the right information to make safe clinical decisions and to deliver safe, high-quality care


Action 6.09


Standard 6, CDI & Role Relevance

All clinicians need access to the right information for safe clinical

decisions and care

Documentation in the health record is the most important source of information across

time and care settings

Undocumented, poorly documented information or

reliance on memory for details of patient condition increases

risk and potential for misdiagnosis and harm

Participating in documentation education and documentation

improvement initiatives will ensure you understand your

documentation responsibilities
