Scrubs and Subpoenas: Documentation Dilemmas - Plot Twist

SUMMARY: 
Scrubs and Subpoenas: Documentation Dilemmas is a podcast bundle that explores the critical role of documentation in healthcare and its impact on patient safety and malpractice claims. Through real-life stories of medical errors and malpractice cases, this series provides insights into the consequences of inadequate documentation and the steps needed to improve practices. Each episode serves as a cautionary tale and a guide to fostering a culture of accountability, empathy, and excellence in healthcare.   

A brief stay in a county correctional facility led to the sudden and mysterious death of a young inmate. While many questions around this fatality remain unanswered, solid documentation by attending nursing staff was a strong defense in court. In this episode, Dr. Sally K. Miller recounts her expert testimony from this emotionally charged case, including pushback from an unqualified consulting physician and uncertainty around a definitive cause of death. Listen in to learn how important the little details are when interacting with federal entities and patients in mental health crisis.
