What is the purpose of reviewing documentation?

The purpose of reviewing documentation primarily centers around understanding current goals and interventions. This process ensures that a client’s treatment plan is effectively aligning with their needs and progress. By reviewing documentation, practitioners can stay informed about the established objectives, strategies used in interventions, and any updates that may have occurred during previous sessions. This understanding is crucial for making informed decisions in ongoing treatment, facilitating continuity of care, and ensuring all team members are on the same page regarding the client’s progress and outcomes.

In a client-centered practice, having a strong grasp of the current goals and interventions allows for better collaboration during sessions, as well as adjustments to be made where necessary, leading to more effective support for the client’s development.
