Lunch & Learn: Paper Notes in Private Practice, A Practical Guide for Therapists, with Nicolle Wargo- Boswell

With the rising costs of electronic health records and private practice expenses as well as increased sensitivity to the privacy and protection of our clients, many clinicians are considering a return to paper notes. But what does that transition require and how do we do so ethically? This one-hour workshop will walk you through the requirements of maintaining paper records, best practices for organization and security, how to streamline documentation while staying compliant, and how this may impact client care. Whether you're looking to cut costs or simplify your practice, this session will provide the tools and confidence you need to make the switch effectively. To start on your journey, you will be provided a sample adult intake and progress note to incorporate into your practice.
