9. Weak vs. strong documentation

Weak — does not survive

Why it fails

Strong — defensible

“CHF stable. No edema.”

No weight, no comparison, no congestion detail, no GDMT tolerance, no skilled rationale.

The HF-recovery model note in §3: weight vs prior/target, congestion signs, GDMT tolerance against parameters, and the reason daily skilled observation was required.

“Lasix given.”

No weight/edema trigger, no response, no MDS support.

“4-lb gain and new 3+ edema with crackles/JVD → parameter-based diuretic per order → relief after voiding; provider notified; reassess next shift.”

“BP low, dose held.”

No value, no parameter, no notification, no reassessment.

“BP 92/54 with lightheadedness after the beta-blocker → held per parameters → provider notified; dose adjustment ordered; reassess vitals next shift.”
