Notes
What did you discover?
This is potentially the most important legal note because this is the therapists professional opinion in light of
subjective and objective findings. It should explain the reasoning behind all decisions taken and clarify and
support the analytical thinking behind the problem-solving process. How you arrived at the stated goals should be
indicated, as well as any factors that may require modification, such as frequency, duration or intervention itself.
Adverse, as well as positive responses should be documented.
Common errors:
- The assessment is too vague e.g.:
"Patient is improving"
- this =
"Little insight is provided"!
