Quick Clinical Case Notes (Collaborative Documentation Q&A)

Recently I've been getting a lot of questions about a somewhat controversial topic- collaborative documentation.  While I don't think everyone should use this strategy, I definitely think it's worth considering. 

Collaborative documentation (sometimes called concurrent documentation) can actually look very different for different therapists!

In this video I review four ways you can incorporate collaborative documentation in your counseling practice right now:

• Writing progress notes with clients in session

• Writing part of the progress note with clients during session

• Sharing progress notes with clients after they are written

• Having clients complete intake paperwork before the initial session

I also go through some of the benefits and potential drawbacks of collaborative documentation:

• Less time writing progress notes (the most obvious benefit!)

• Increased communication and connection with your clients

• Reduction of errors in documentation

• Better engagement of "resistant" clients
