Editorial Reviews

Review

Will not use not appropriate for focus of course. Would be more applicable to more advanced course after students have had some clinical exposure. Elspeth Finch, McMaster Univerisity, writes: "It is not suitable for our program because of the focus on documenting to meet the requirements of managed care, which is not a major focus in Canadian health care." The book is more for enhancing documentation than for teaching basics to P.TA students. For a personal reference I feel it is excellent. Well organized and well written easily referenced.

From the Publisher

The introduction examines both what data the reviewer seeks and what the reviewer often finds to be insufficient in the documentation presented. Practical suggestions for effective and functional documentation are discussed. Case studies are utilized to compare poor documentation to improved documentation.
