Documentation in Social Work: Complex Ethical and Risk-management Issues 

This webinar will address complex ethical, malpractice, and risk-management issues pertaining to documentation of services and critical incidents in social work settings.  Frederic Reamer will present challenging case examples and state-of-the-art guidelines related to high-stakes documentation decisions, including issues related to wording choices, client and third-party access, electronic records management, disclosures during legal proceedings, and records management in integrated care settings, among others.
