Why This Assessment Matters
You know the feeling. You've finished a difficult visit, written up your notes, moved on to the next case. Then later that night — the doubt creeps in.
Did I document that comment about the bruises? Did I note the hesitation when I asked about finances? Would my notes actually protect me if something went wrong?
Here's the thing: most care professionals know their documentation isn't perfect. But few know exactly which gaps could actually cause problems.
This assessment scores your current practices across 10 critical areas. Based on your answers, you'll get:
- Your risk score across 10 critical categories
