Clinical Documentation 101
Clinical Documentation 101
I HATE writing notes.. and you know you do too! We went to school to be clinicians, NOT authors!! And while in school, we learned all about clinical theories, diagnosis, interventions, etc., but clinical documentation was not part of any of our programs. Now here we are, most of us in private practice, writing notes the way we think they should be written with very little guidance from insurance companies.
If you are in private practice and you accept insurance then you NEED to know how to write notes. Insurance companies can audit your charts at anytime and if your documentation doesn't meet their guidelines then you'll be giving back your hard earned money.. and A LOT of it!!

"Hi Shalyn, I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for offering such a great training! I really appreciate all the information, handouts, personal stories, etc. that you shared. I found it so helpful and would highly recommend it to anyone in the future. I’m still processing some of what you shared and keep thinking to myself how lucky your clinicians
are to be able to learn this directly from you."

"Thank you for a great training. I feel so much more confident about writing notes and have already started implementing changes. You're a really good teacher. Thanks again!"
