Description: "This text teaches the SOAP notes format reimbursable by Medicare Part B and other third-party payers. Other topics include a review of spelling and grammar, an overview of the initial evaluation process delineating the roles of the occupational therapist and the occupational therapy assistant, tips for clinical reasoning, and guidelines for selecting appropriate interventions. Templates allow beginning students to practice formatting SOAP notes, and a detachable summary sheet can be pulled out and carried to clinical sites as a reminder of the necessary contents for a SOAP note. Multiple worksheets are provided for practice in developing observation skills, clinical reasoning, documentation skills, and a repertoire of professional language. All worksheets are also available online with answers included to enable independent study."--
