9. Weak vs. strong documentation

Weak — does not survive

Why it fails

Strong — defensible

“Resident stable. No acute distress.”

No constitutional detail, no systemic surveillance, no management view — reads as custodial.

The whole-person model note in §3: the constitutional signs, the early-sepsis screen, and the management-and-evaluation of the multi-problem plan.

“Slow decline, comfort care.”

No assessment of reversible causes or plan re-evaluation.

The decline model note in §4: the constitutional trend, the reversible-cause workup, the goals-of-care revisit, and the plan revision.

“Febrile. Tylenol given.”

No source screen, no sepsis surveillance, no notification.

The sepsis-surveillance model note in §4: the constitutional picture, the source assessment, the sepsis pathway, SBAR, and monitoring.
