After studying the problem and the frequency with which it was occurring, she made the following recommendation: The suggested changes were to be covered in an addendum format, so that any time throughout the year when a major change in the individual’s program was instituted, the change would be reflected in the 24-hour schedule, thus alerting the direct care staff of the addition, deletion, and/or change in the program.
To better track the documentation requirements, Ms. Deaux elected to monitor, in her monthly audit of the records, whether program changes were being documented appropriately and to submit any variance in the program to the assigned QDDP.
Who is the “assigned QDDP?” Why do you think Ms. Deaux elected to report variances to the QDDP?
How could electronic health records or electronic information systems have made a difference in this situation?
