March 17, 2026 | 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. PT

Join us as we explore how everyday documentation practices can either protect providers or create risk, with a focus on charting habits that commonly lead to litigation. Participants will learn how to make the medical record their strongest witness by clearly documenting clinical decision-making, actions taken, and rationale. Real world examples will illustrate how medical records are scrutinized and used during discovery and trial, highlighting practical strategies to reduce risk.
