I am trying to get some clarification on the documentation guidelines for a physician seeing an inpatient for subsequent care. I understand that the physician will be entering an entry in the hospital chart but what about the physician chart? I have always been told that if there isn't any documentation the service never happened. I am trying to find out if the information in the hospital chart would be the only documentation needed and would stand up to an audit for that matter. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
