We are trying to get our providers to document more supporting signs and/or symptoms to support the medical necessity for the administration of hydration. Are your providers coming out and stating the reason the hydration was ordered? Are they doing this in their narrative or do you have it as part of your order entry?
While we would love our ED doctors to state the patient the patient is dehydrated and or cannot take anything by mouth as well as document other signs and symptoms it often is not done. If anyone has educated providers on this and is willing to share how you did that or the document they provided, that would be appreciated.
Thanks.
