Description

Global consistency in documentation is the goal. Every patient’s medical record deserves excellence and equality in its creation—even when healthcare professionals insist on cutting and pasting or using unusual font types or colors! The Book of Style and Standards for Clinical Documentation (BOSS4CD) development team has strived to provide such tools and resources* in the new edition and in this session will discuss how the BOSS4CD is intended to help: 

• Improve documentation outcomes.
• Educate users about current styles and standards, particularly surrounding EHRs and SR.
• Show the importance of becoming credentialed.
• Secure the future of our organization and industry
