MN561 Advance Practice Nurse Clinical
Unit 3 Discussion
Topic: Medical Record Documentation
Medical record documentation is required to record pertinent facts, findings, and observations about an individual’s health history, including past and present illnesses, tests, treatments, and outcomes. The medical record chronologically documents the care of the patient and is an important element contributing to high-quality safe care.
Discuss your State Board of Nursing nurse practitioner documentation guidelines and how this can impact your level of reimbursement in the clinical setting.
