Session Description:
Writing style is fluid and changes with usage and need. As we all know, healthcare documentation has changed significantly, especially with the advent of the electronic health record and the increasing number of clinicians doing their own documentation.
The BOS 4e Development Team has worked diligently to research, update, and revise examples, remove inconsistencies and outdated content, and clarify explanations. The team has updated guidelines as prescribed by specialty societies and standards-setting organizations such as ISMP and AMA. Content is designed to address an expanded audience such as software developers, clinicians, and HIM professionals. New chapters include additional specialties, new appendices, and facility best practices, with topics such as copy/paste, gender issues, and dictation best practices. Join us to hear about this exciting new edition!
