The review should start where the record has to connect incident follow-up, supervision, interventions, wounds, and cross-disciplinary review.
Run the review like a trace, not a meeting
Incident to intervention
Take one recent fall, elopement risk, or accident-related event and trace investigation, root cause, care plan update, communication, and monitoring.
Intervention to practice
Confirm the intervention is visible across shifts and resident-specific enough to defend.
Practice back to record
Make sure the record supports what staff say is happening now, not only what was planned.
