DOCUMENTATION (Yes, It Matters!)

Documentation is an essential part of a DSP's role. Accurate, timely notes help protect members, support quality care, and keep the entire team informed.

As a DSP, you are responsible for:

• Completing daily case notes in Therap

• Writing clear and objective incident reports when necessary
• Documenting what you observed, when it occurred, and how you responded
• Recording information accurately and promptly

Remember:

If it wasn't documented, it didn't happen. Good documentation tells the story of the member's day, supports continuity of care, and ensures compliance with program requirements.
