Overview: This webinar will provide participants with an overview and in-depth

examination of compelling documentation issues in behavioral health. Dr. Frederic Reamer will

explore high-risk ethical issues and practical strategies designed to protect clients and

practitioners.

The webinar will explore a series of documentation challenges and explore practical steps that

professionals can take to manage ethical issues skillfully and minimize risk. Key topics will

include:

The content of documentation

Documentation wording

Credibility issues related to documentation

Accessing confidential records

Record retention

Responding to subpoenas

Managing records in integrated health settings

Dr. Reamer will discuss relevant ethical standards; statutes, regulations, and case law; and

national practice standards related to documentation. He will draw especially on his extensive

experience as an expert witness and ethics consultant in a large number of court cases and

licensing board cases throughout the U.S. and abroad.

Why should you Attend: Behavioral health professionals - including mental health counselors,

psychologists, social workers, psychiatrics, psychiatric nurses, and addictions counselors -

face complex documentation challenges that raise both ethical and risk-management issues. When

is it appropriate to be vague in a clinical note in order to protect clients? Should parents of

minor clients have a right to access clinicians' records? How should practitioners respond to

subpoenas that demand disclosure of records? Under what circumstances should clients have

access to their own records? These and other documentation issues require skilled professional

judgment.

Areas Covered in the Session:

Documentation challenges in behavioral health: Compelling examples

Common documentation challenges: A typology

Documentation decision-making: Ethical and risk-management considerations

Documentation protocols to protect clients and practitioners, and prevent litigation and

licensing board complaints

Who Will Benefit:

Psychologists

Social Workers

Mental Health Counselors

Marriage and Family Therapists

Psychiatrists

Psychiatric Nurses
