What’s Missing From Your Charts: Writing Great Notes

This webinar satisfies requirements for live interactive CE credits for all professions.

DESCRIPTION: If you are a psychotherapist who never received training in how to write progress notes, you are in good company.  But you may not realize how your current note-keeping habits can hurt you — or your clients.  Especially with insurance plans more frequently reviewing client charts — even those of out-of-network therapists — this training couldn’t be more essential.

This three-hour webinar will give you a great overview of how to write progress notes, with an eye toward meeting legal, ethical, and licensing boards requirements.  You’ll be given tips to create brief, helpful notes that can allow you to feel confident if you ever receive a records request, or if you have to defend yourself in a complaint.   In addition, you will learn about health plan documentation requirements, in case you are audited.  For all therapists, more detailed notes can mean protecting ourselves, as well as helping clients get the treatment they deserve.

Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals
