Content of Documentation -ANSWERS--Be thorough but don't overdo it.
Think about what you have to document to demonstrate activities and
facilitate services as well as protecting and serving all parties involved
(assessment and treatment planning, informed consent, actual contact
information (including cancelled and failed appointments)termination
activities, supervisors should document both supervision actions and
consults.)
-Too little vs. too much: document enough information when handling a
crisis to show your assessment, thought process, decision. Don't document
a lot when you are documenting things like a client's fantasy (this could be
used against him/her)
-Document enough to fulfill the function of the note and the job. In a crisis,
document smarter vs. longer.
, Personal notes and emails should also be written as if they are public: they
can be subpoenaed.
-Families and couples: may want to have one common file and separate
files in which private sensitive information is kept in case of later disputes
-Don't air dirty laundry- no comments about being unhappy in work
environment, too few social workers, unhelpful colleagues, etc in client
records- this should be found in administrative documentation only
Language and Terminology -ANSWERS--Choose words carefully and
support your conclusions; avoid defamatory language. Write remembering
there is an audience.
-Be clear and specific; be careful with abbreviations and do not use ones
that are not approved or will be misunderstood
-Qualify your statements- "appears to be", "seems to be"
-Avoid libelous writing
Credibility -ANSWERS--Records need to be thorough and timely; record
AFTER you have delivered the service not before.
-Document in the required window (during the contact, immediately after,
within 24 hours)- delayed documentation can be used against you.
-Use proper grammar so you can maintain credibility
-Acknowledge errors: either write a new note with correct information or
strike out error, insert correct information. Date and initial change.
Access to Records and Documents -ANSWERS--There is no such thing as
complete confidentiality: always assume records will be seen
-Subpoenas: know the difference for one requesting records vs. one
requesting a personal appearance (some organizations send the person
responsible for maintaining the record- i.e., medical records)
