SNF and rehab SLPs balance functional outcomes, insurance justification, and productivity requirements. LLMs can help with the documentation burden, but beware of padding notes with impressive-sounding language that doesn’t reflect actual clinical work.

Key Considerations

• Goals must justify continued services to insurance reviewers
• Functional outcomes must be measurable and tied to daily living
• MDS documentation has specific requirements
• Discharge planning requires clear status summaries and recommendations
• Productivity pressure can tempt over-reliance on AI-generated language

Red Flags Specific to This Setting

• Using AI to inflate documentation to meet productivity metrics
• Letting polished language mask lack of meaningful progress
• Generic functional goals that don’t reflect the individual patient
• AI-generated “improvement” narratives that don’t match actual data
