From Field to File: Improving Documentation and Quality Assurance for MIH/CP

Not quite an EMS transport report, but not quite a hospital medical record—MIH/CP documentation exists in its own hybrid world. Essential for tracking and trending patient data, reporting outcomes, and establishing the case for initial or continued funding, proper documentation of care is essential for MIH/CP providers. Yet, many services rely on their EMS documentation as a standard for a different type of care. Nick and Samantha discuss the clinical, legal, and operational aspects of MIH/CP documentation, highlighting differences from traditional EMS response, and discuss how a robust quality assurance program improves clinical care and documentation compliance. They offer practical tips and tricks for documentation that accurately reflects care and minimizes legal risk for MIH/CP providers.
