Resident Records — Identifiable Information
Records must be complete, accurately documented, readily accessible, and systematically organized.
How in-house dermatology helps
Consult notes and orders go directly into PCC or your community's EMR — findings, plan, and follow-up interval — rather than arriving weeks later from an outside clinic, or not at all.
We are not a wound care service and we do not replace your wound team. We work alongside them as another set of specialty eyes, catching dermatologic issues early — including the non-healing areas that turn out to be skin cancer, atypical infection, or inflammatory skin disease rather than a wound.
What surveyors look at
- Whether outside consult results are present in the chart and accessible on request
- Whether orders resulting from a consult were transcribed and carried out
Common citation triggers
- A resident transported to a dermatology appointment with no note ever returned
- Consult recommendations that never became orders
