A practical guide to clearer DSP documentation

Useful documentation explains what happened, what support was provided, and what changed. It should be specific, respectful, timely and relevant to the person's goals.

What makes a daily support note useful?

Organizations should follow their own documentation policies, funding requirements, privacy obligations and clinical protocols. KinNotice is not a substitute for a certified EHR or required medication administration records.
