Best Practice Documents

A working library of documentation templates and level-of-care standards, built to hold up under chart audit and licensing board review — from outpatient through inpatient settings.

Library Contents

Five categories, one standard

Every document is written and reviewed by supervisors who use it in their own practices — not adapted from a generic compliance template.

Documentation templates

Intake notes, progress notes, treatment plans, and discharge summaries formatted to the standard most payers and boards expect.

Level-of-care criteria

Medical necessity and step-down/step-up criteria across outpatient, IOP, PHP, residential, and inpatient levels of care.

Risk assessment protocols

Structured suicide, homicide, and safety risk assessment tools, with guidance on when and how to escalate care.

Treatment planning guides

Goal-writing frameworks tied to measurable outcomes, built to satisfy both clinical utility and payer documentation review.

Compliance & audit checklists

Pre-audit self-review checklists that mirror what a licensing board or payer auditor actually checks for.

Supervision documentation

Supervision session logs and evaluation forms designed to satisfy licensing board recordkeeping requirements for supervisors.
