-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.
