The rule
Follow the written protocol. Escalate red flags. Do not prescribe and do not invent minutes or readings.
An out-of-range vital goes to the named clinician path. A dead device is an open gap, not 100 percent adherence.
Never miss
- Time-based programs need documented eligible time.
- Empty voicemail is usually not countable interactive time. Confirm the current program rule.
- Chest pressure breaks the wellness script.
- Last month's readings are not this month's.
- A continued-stay stamp names the author who signed the entry, the place in the record where it sits, and the date of the newest interval entry you used.
- The support desk can verify consent on file, whether the monitoring device is sending readings, and whether an outreach call happened. It does not decide medical necessity.
Traps
- Typing typical numbers when the device is silent.
- Finishing a survey during a red-flag call.
- Deleting alerts so the panel looks calm.
Shortcuts
- Condition, intervention, time, next check.
- Device support is part of the loop.
- Protocol includes after-hours.
Memory hooks
- PROTOCOL-NOT-PRESCRIPTION. Triage to the written path RPM desk.
