Understanding Progress Notes
Progress notes are essential in documenting the therapeutic process, yet there is no universal standard guiding their structure and content. Each insurance company may have its own preferences, leading to confusion among clinicians regarding what constitutes an acceptable note. The panel emphasizes the importance of clearly capturing medical necessity and the client's presenting issues to create a narrative that reflects the quality of care provided. Understanding that documentation requires both a subjective and objective lens allows for effective communication about the client's progress and the clinician's interventions.
