In healthcare, decisions carry weight - and so does the way those decisions are documented. This episode of "Your Practice Made Perfect" dives into a Closed Case that underscores a critical takeaway: documentation isn't just about checking a box, it’s a reflection of your decision making process and professional judgement. Tune in to hear how one case emphasizes the difference between adequate and great documentation - and why that distinction matters.
