 Capture Comprehensive Patient Information: Ensure accurate documentation by
capturing relevant patient information, including medical history, presenting symptoms,
vital signs, and pre-existing conditions. Thoroughly document the patient's demographics,
medications, allergies, and any relevant risk factors.
 Document in a Timely and Sequential Manner: Promptly record all actions,
interventions, and responses during a cardiac arrest event. Maintain a sequential timeline
to provide a clear picture of the events as they unfolded. Document the exact time and
details of each intervention, such as CPR, defibrillation, medications administered, and
the response of the patient.
 Use Clear and Concise Language: Use precise medical terminology and avoid
ambiguous or vague descriptions. Clearly describe the procedures performed, the
locations involved, and the outcomes observed. Avoid subjective language and document
objective findings, such as the patient's response to treatment, changes in vital signs, and
any complications encountered.
 Ensure Consistency and Compliance: Adhere to established documentation standards,
guidelines, and protocols. Follow coding and billing requirements to accurately capture
procedures, diagnoses, and relevant codes. Maintain consistency in formatting,
abbreviations, and terminology usage within your documentation.
