Documentation for Rehabilitation: A Guide to Clinical Decision Making in Physical Therapy, 3rd Edition by Lori Quinn EdD PT (Author), provides a comprehensive guide for rehabilitation professionals on how to accurately document patient treatment progress and outcomes. This practical resource is designed to improve documentation skills and clinical reasoning, essential for better patient management. Realistic examples and practice exercises are included to reinforce concepts, making it easier to apply the knowledge gained. The book’s content is structured around a framework based on the International Classification for Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) model, adopted by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). It covers documentation in various practice settings such as acute care, rehabilitation, outpatient, home care, nursing homes, and pediatric settings. Guidelines for systematic documentation are provided, detailing how to identify, record, measure, and evaluate treatments and therapies, particularly important given insurance requirements for functional progress evidence.
