Recordkeeping: Will Your Documentation Save You?

Malpractice and license defense claims are on the rise. Regardless of practice type and species, the need for good medical recordkeeping amongst veterinarians is vital in today’s times to defend a veterinarian’s standard of care in practice.
Good documentation will help veterinarians prevail in these instances or can help to minimize the potential negative consequences from a lack of complete medical records.
This talk will review the reasons for maintaining good recordkeeping so that veterinarians can compare their current methods against these standards.
