DOM Overdue Documentation Policy
The standards for documentation at UW Health and the Department of Medicine are clear. The measurement of how well individuals meet those standards is not currently as robust as we would like but it is improving. For the purposes of this policy overdue documentation includes inpatient documentation at UW Hospital and ambulatory documentation at UWHC and UWMF clinics.
