Record Keeping

Period: 17th- 28th March

Aim: This week you will be introduced to the record keeping process that you will use throughout your training.

There are three tasks for you to complete (or at least get started on) this week.

1. Elluminate session
2. Readings
3. Work through the Create a Client Intake Form learning resource

Elluminate

Kicking off the week, we’re going to have a session in Elluminate. In this session we will explore the S.O.T.A.P. assessment and record keeping model, and how it relates to the massage process. This is a pretty important session, as you are required to record all of your logged treatments for the course in the S.O.T.A.P. format.

In case you were unable to attend the session, it has been recorded and is now available below.

Readings

• Read the following sections in Fritz (2004) - Chapter 3 – Medical Terminology for Professional Record Keeping
• Medical Terminology – Fundamental Word Elements , Abbreviations, Terminology as an ongoing study
• Record Keeping – Clinical Reasoning & Charting, Functionally Oriented Goals

Create a Client Intake Form

Work your way through the create a client intake form learning resource.

You need to have your own client intake form before you are allowed to log any hours, and the creation of this form is part of Assessment Task 1 for Fundamentals, so it’s a good idea to get going on this now.
