Question 1

How do I check wound care documentation before signing?

Accepted Answer

Audit Defender checks each encounter against what is actually saved in the chart and sorts what it finds into Needs fixing, Worth a look and Done. Each open item links straight to the chart section that needs it, so you can fix gaps before you sign the note.

Question 2

What documentation do auditors look for in wound care?

Accepted Answer

Reviewers generally look for a complete record of each visit: wound measurements, assessments, photos, the treatments performed and the products applied, with signed notes and dated addenda. Audit Defender helps you check those details before signing and gather them into an episode record packet when records are requested. It does not guarantee audit results or payment.

Question 3

How do I respond to a wound care records request?

Accepted Answer

Use Audit Defender to build an episode record packet. Choose a wound and a date range, and WoundGenie gathers the visit timeline, signatures, signed notes, addenda, treatments, measurements, photos and product applications with lots. The packet also lists missing or unverified items instead of hiding them, so you can see what is incomplete.

Question 4

Which treatments does Audit Defender check?

Accepted Answer

Audit Defender runs treatment-specific checks for debridement, skin substitute application, NPWT, I&D and vascular assessment. The checks look at the details documented in the chart for each treatment and point you to anything still open before you sign.

Question 5

What is the encounter Summary guide?

Accepted Answer

The Summary guide is a 13-step checklist that follows the order of the encounter note, from visit details to signing. It works the same whether you chart by hand or with Genie Chat, and it shows which steps are complete and which still need attention.

Question 6

Does Audit Defender replace clinical judgment?

Accepted Answer

No. Audit Defender supports your clinical judgment and never replaces it. You decide what to fix and when to sign. It also does not promise audit outcomes or payment; it helps you find gaps before signing and organize records you already have.
