9. Weak vs. strong documentation

Weak — does not survive

Why it fails

Strong — defensible

“BP stable. Meds given.”

No values, no parameters, no orthostatics, no judgment.

The post-event model note in §3: BP/HR against the ordered parameters, orthostatic status, symptom screen, and the hold/give judgment applied.

“BP high.”

No value, no parameter, no action.

“BP 196/108 with headache → antihypertensive per parameters → recheck 172/96; provider notified; target-organ monitoring.”

“Dizzy after meds.”

Misses over-treatment/fall risk and the parameter action.

“BP 96/56 with lightheadedness/near-fall after the dose → next dose held per parameters → fall precautions; provider notified; orthostatics obtained.”
