Health documents provide a legal representation of the assessments, actions, and related results when caring for a client. In this course you will study the purpose, standards and methods of documentation as a means of communication of the care you have provided to your clients. You will learn how documentation demonstrates a commitment to providing safe, effective, ethical care and accountability for professional practice. You will learn the Canadian standards of documentation, types of nursing reports, and discuss methods of recording data.
