A Doctor’s Note is Not Good Enough… and what is better $40, 2 CE credits

January 8, 2023 by Rianne Chavez

In this lively 2-hour class we will discuss why the strategy of “getting a doctor’s note” (or clearance, or permission) to work with clients who have complicated health challenges is not useful. Then we will use sample templates to initiate conversations that get us what we really need: relevant information so we can do our work safely.

Participants will be able to…

  • Explain why the strategy of “getting a doctor’s note” is not useful.
  • Compare the concepts of “scope of practice”, “standard of care” and “code of ethics”
  • Initiate HIPAA-compliant conversations with healthcare providers to support safe and effective clinical decisions.
  • Use sample templates to support conversations with healthcare providers.
  • Empower clients to be engaged and involved in discussions with their healthcare team.
