The purpose of this course is to emphasize the need for
accurate and objective documentation and to promote good written
communication skills. This course also emphasizes the importance
of being in compliance with Title 22 guidelines for incident
reporting.
The written communication created in residential communities
reflects the care and safety of our residents. Any part of
the resident's file can be considered a legal document. Any
community may be asked to provide "our notes, communication
logs, or progress notes" if they are considered evidence
in a legal case or licensing issue. For these reasons, all
staff creating documentation of any kind should have a clear
understanding of why and how good written communications should
be completed.
