TCI Update: Documentation

Description

Participants will focus on key competency areas that are essential in providing staff members with the information and skills necessary to thoroughly and accurately document these events.

A goal of the Therapeutic Crisis Intervention system is to restore the child, the staff, and the program to a state of functioning higher than it was before the crisis began. This circle of learning occurs when there is an appropriate response to the crisis event that ensures safety, support, and an opportunity for reflective practice. Learning from crisis begins when the immediate event is over and is enhanced through effective documentation of the crisis event on an incident report. The incident report can be a useful supervisory tool to enhance learning at all levels of the organization when it is written in a thorough, accurate, and organized manner that objectively describes what took place. Direct care staff and supervisors are responsible for the documentation of many incidents throughout their shift with often little training or instruction in how to write effective and useful reports. This one-day program is designed to assist them by clearly outlining the goals, purpose, and elements of incident reports.

Participants will be able to:

  • Identify essential components for effective incident documentation
  • Document incidents accurately, objectively, and sequentially using intervention-response cycles and

Demonstrate an ability to accurately transfer what was observed during an unusual event and describe that incident in writing
