both neglect and fraudulent documentation.3. Demonstrate knowledge of correct procedures for

documentation.________________________________________Content1. What is Falsification of
Documentation? Recording information in the medical record that is not true, not performed, or intentionally
altered. Examples include:o Documenting a blood sugar reading that was not actually taken.o Signing off
medications or treatments that were not provided.o Changing a resident's vital signs to appear within
normal limits.o Backdating entries or forging signatures. o Changing test results or omitting critical details. o
Ghost entries for care that never occurred.________________________________________2. Why is This
Serious? Resident Safety: Missing or falsified provision of care can lead to residents not receiving what
they need to ensure they are safe and could include hospitalization or death. Inaccurate records can lead to
misdiagnoses, improper treatment, and dangerous medical errors. Neglect: Failing to provide care as
ordered is considered neglect and violates residents' rights to proper care. Legal & Regulatory
Consequences: Falsification can result in serious legal action, including criminal charges, fines, and civil
lawsuits, especially in cases of fraud or medical malpractice. This can result in loss of licensure, fines, or
termination. Healthcare professionals, such as nurses, can face licensing suspension, revocation, or
probation from their state board for fraudulent

right number of units are given. The Medical Director stated staff cannot falsify documentation because that
will put residents in the facility health at risk. The non-compliance was identified as past non-compliance
(PNC). The PNC began on 09/10/25 and ended on 09/12/25. The facility had corrected the non-compliance
before the state's investigation began. During an interview on 09/12/25 at 3:30 pm, The CN/DON stated
staff have had competency testing blood sugars, given insulin, abuse/neglect and documentation. The
CN/DON stated LVN A was suspended after Resident#1 family stated he did not do her blood sugar check
on 09/10/25. The CN/DON stated after investigating the incident, LVN A stated he did not check Resident#1
blood sugar and used LVN B readings the morning of 09/10/25. The CN/DON and Admin reported LVN A
license to the BON on 09/11/25. The Admin and DON terminated LVN A on 09/12/25. The CN/DON except

can have a decline in health from falsifying documentation. Record review of falsifying documentation
in-service, dated 09/11/25 reflected:Learning Objectives1. Understand the facility's zero-tolerance policy for
falsifying documentation.2. Recognizing how failing to provide care but documenting care was provided
constitutes both neglect and fraudulent documentation.3. Demonstrate knowledge of correct procedures for
documentation.4. Identify the disciplinary consequences of falsifying documentation.Content1. What is
Falsification of Documentation? Recording information in the medical record that is not true, not performed,
or intentionally altered. Examples include:o Documenting a blood sugar reading that was not actually
taken.o Signing off medications or treatments that were not provided.o Changing a resident's vital signs to
appear within normal limits.o Backdating entries or forging signatures. o Changing test results or omitting
critical details. o Ghost entries for care that never occurred.2. Why is This Serious? Resident Safety:
Missing or falsified provision of care can lead to residents not receiving what they need to ensure they are
safe and could include hospitalization or death. Inaccurate records can lead to misdiagnoses, improper
treatment, and dangerous medical errors. Neglect: Failing to provide care as ordered is considered neglect
and violates residents' rights to proper care. Legal & Regulatory Consequences: Falsification can result in
serious legal action, including criminal charges, fines, and civil lawsuits, especially in cases of fraud or
medical malpractice. This can result in loss of licensure, fines, or termination. Healthcare professionals,
such as nurses, can face licensing suspension, revocation, or probation from their state board for fraudulent
documentation.3. Facility Zero Tolerance Policy Falsifying documentation in any form is strictly prohibited.
No Tolerance Standard:o Any employee found falsifying documentation will face disciplinary action, up to
and including termination of employment.o Repeated or intentional violations may be reported to the state
licensing board and law enforcement if fraud or resident harm is involved.4. Staff Responsibility Provide
care exactly as ordered. Document only what you did, when you did it, and the actual results. Ask for
clarification if you are unsure of an order or what documentation is required. Report errors and mistakes in
