On the Same Team: Wound Care Documentation across the Multidisciplinary Team in the LTC Setting

Providing excellent wound care services depends on documentation that clearly illustrates assessment and medical necessity of the client, skilled interventions performed, and outcomes achieved. Complete and thorough documentation is the critical foundation for successful reimbursement of therapy wound care services. When it comes to regulatory audits and denials of reimbursement based on documentation, being proactive is the key.
