Plan notes alert

What is needed:

The final component of the note is used to outline the plan for future sessions. The therapist should report on what the patient's Home exercises will be, as well as the steps to take in order to reach the functional goals. Changes to the intervention strategy are documented in this section.

Common errors:

  • The upcoming plan is not indicated.
  • Vague description of the plan e.g. "Continue treatment".

Essentially:

  • When is the next appointment
  • What will you do at that appointment
  • Any actions needed before the next appointment? (eg get crutches from next village)

  might need a reminder system here for either a diary system or an 'alarm clock' signal when imminent also an onward referral or discharge tab(? )

Using notes:

Simply type a note and press "Enter" key. You can edit existing notes or delete a note. To delete all your notes, use "Clear". However, as this will remove all notes on this page it is advised to copy and paste them into a document and store them elsewhere before clearing them here.
