Abstract: Documentation can serve many roles in healthcare. One is a means of communicating and coordinating care plans across many healthcare providers. Another is providing information to a patient and their family on their condition and how to best treat or manage their chief complaints. Yet another outlines medical necessity and provides evidence for third-party coverage. Documentation can protect healthcare providers in the event of malpractice suits, licensure complaints or audit. This workshop will focus on the keys to successful documentation in an audiology practice so we too can benefit from all of the opportunities documentation can afford.

Learning Objectives:

List the aspects of a review of systems.
Implement SOAP documentation in their practice.
Describe the key components of a comprehensive case history.
