If you are using handwritten documentation, any corrections in the record have a line drawn through the incorrect entry, and that line is dated and signed by the provider. The late entry and rationale are signed and dated by the provider. If you are using electronic documentation, all corrections in the record clearly indicate the original wording of the note and the correction and include the date and authentication of the provider. If you are using electronic documentation, late entries are noted as late entries, a rationale is provided for the late entry, and it is authenticated and dated by the provider.
