Clinical Documentation 101
A training by Shalyn Rose, LCSW
Let's face it, jotting down notes isn't what we imagined doing when we dreamed of becoming clinicians. We're trained in clinical theories, diagnosis, and interventions – not paperwork. Yet, here we are in private practice, often unsure about the best way to document our work. It's crucial, especially if you work with insurance companies. Proper notes are key to
passing audits and keeping your earnings secure!
​
This course will teach you the basics of creating and maintaining high-quality, compliant and accurate medical records. You will learn how to document various clinical scenarios, how to use different types of documentation and how to follow the
best practices of documentation. Suitable for anyone who works in health care, whether you are new to clinical
documentation or just want to refresh your skills and knowledge. Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your
documentation skills and take your career to the next level.

Attention Practice Owners:
Insurance companies are very strict about documentation. They can audit private practices at any time and make owners pay back thousands of dollars if they are not satisfied with notes.
