-Supporting continuity and coordination of services among settings and care providers


-Documenting supervisory activities to show contacts/content in case of challenge, personnel problems,

or litigation


-Providing data for program evaluation activities


-Allowing for accountability- information for 3rd party payors, regulatory bodies, etc.


Code of Ethics & Documentation - Answer✔✔--Calls for accurate documentation and protection of

privacy of all involved parties noted in the client record


-Gives clients the right to access own records (if this occurs there is a duty to protect privacy of others

noted in the record)


-Electronic records also have to have safeguards in place to protect confidentiality and privacy


-Storage of records needs to protect privacy and confidentiality


-Records need to be kept for at least several years after termination in a secure, private location.


Content of Documentation - Answer✔✔--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 - Answer✔✔--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 - Answer✔✔--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.
