Improve your note writing skills so you can be more efficient and spend less time writing your daily notes. 

Join us for a 60-minute webinar designed specifically for Occupational Therapists. This webinar will help you refine your daily note-writing skills, ensuring that your documentation is both efficient and stress-free. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to the field, our expert tips and practical examples will enhance your ability to create thorough and accurate notes, while hopefully giving you a little time back in your schedule. 

Documentation can be time-consuming and stressful, but it doesn’t have to be! 

We’ve all been there: it’s 7 pm and we haven’t started writing our first note of the day. 

  • We spend 10 minutes just trying to remember each session
  • We aren’t sure exactly what’s the most important thing, so we include everything.
  • We get stressed out over how long it’s taking and so we put it off to the next day.

We end up spending 10-20 minutes on each note, which is WAY TOO LONG!

During this on-demand webinar, we’ll share proven strategies to streamline your note-writing process without sacrificing quality. Learn what to include and what to forget, the best way to utilize templates, and how to be quick while also being efficient. 

Have you ever read a note that sounded like this?

During the session, Alex participated in various fine motor activities, including writing exercises and cutting practice. He demonstrated difficulty maintaining a proper pencil grip and had trouble with cutting along a straight line. Alex also displayed signs of sensory overload when a loud noise occurred in the therapy room, covering his ears and becoming visibly agitated. Based on today’s session, it is apparent that Alex is experiencing challenges with fine motor skills and sensory processing. These difficulties may be impacting his performance in school and causing emotional distress.

 

We’ve all written a note like this but I think we can do better!

I can pinpoint a few things I’d like to change to make this note more specific without adding more sentences, show therapist skill, and be more concise. 
 
Think about it: 
  • How would you rate this on a scale of 1-5?
  • What would you change?

During this webinar, participants will:

  • Learn what to include and what to avoid in your notes
  • Review of SOAP notes
  • Discover concise phrases to use in our notes
  • Learn to pick the most important things to include in our documentation
  • View the presenter editing daily notes samples and write notes after viewing two sample treatment sessions

Who is this webinar is for?

Pediatric OTPs or therapy students who:

  • Are stressed out and want to develop better note-writing habits

Q+A

This course opens on 6/10/24. It’s self-paced meaning after your purchase, you can take the course whenever it fits with your schedule. 

They really are the same thing – both are units towards your license/certification, but they are different units of measurement.

  • 1 contact hour = 1 PDU or .1 CEU 
  • 1 contact hour with an assessment = 1.25 PDUs for NBCOT
  • 1 PDU = .1 CEU

These units can be applied to your state license and NBCOT. If you are not an OT please check your professional requirements. 

For this course, you will earn 1.25 PDUS for NBCOT (because there is an assessment), or .1 CEU

This course was designed for Occupational Therapists but could be valuable for all therapists who want to improve their note-writing skills.

You’ll have access for 4 months from the purchase date. You must complete the course within that time frame to get the certificate.

At this time I do not offer refunds. 

$45 USD, but an early bird discount will be available upon release.
