You are putting yourself and your company at risk…every single day. This ½ day interactive workshop will explain proven techniques for creating accurate documents that will help rather than embarrass those working in the medical device industry. The workshop leader, who is a former prosecutor, will discuss common words and phrases that when taken out of context have humiliated individuals and hurt organizations. She will help you develop a plan to train others in your firm on what constitutes appropriate and inappropriate documentation practices.
