Records | Evidence | Transparency | Requests

If it isn’t written down, it’s hard to prove it happened. In pressure sore prevention, records show risk assessments, plans, repositioning, skin checks and wound care. Clear documentation protects patients—and helps families understand what happened.
How to request records: ask for the care plan, risk assessments, turning charts, wound logs, nutrition/hydration plans, and escalation notes. Keep your own timeline too. If entries are missing or inconsistent, that’s important evidence.
