What’s your documentation personality?

Rehab therapists don’t all document the same way, and that’s not a bad thing. Your documentation style says a lot about how you adapt to pressure, workload, and the realities of clinic life.   

Take this quick quiz to discover your documentation personality.

Your ideal Sunday morning looks like

Calm

Productive

Low effort

Recovering

Which statement resonates most with how you think about documentation?

A note is a legal record — it should reflect exactly what happened

Documentation should support the work I’m billing for

The real care happens in the room, not in the chart

I just need to get through the stack so I can keep going

When trying something new (app, workout, workflow), you usually

Research it thoroughly and want proof it works before committing

I’ll try it if it helps my numbers or performance

Try it if it’s simple and saves me time

I’ll try anything if it lightens my load

Your natural pace to complete tasks is

Deliberate and steady

Focused and results-driven

Quick and efficient

Fast and nonstop

When you review your own notes, they tend to be

Thorough — I include every clinical detail to paint the full picture

Comprehensive — I make sure the units and codes are well-supported

Concise — I capture the essentials and move on

Variable — depends on how far behind I am that day

When you hear the word “audit,” you feel:

Confident — my documentation speaks for itself

Not worried — I know how to justify my billing

Honestly, I haven’t thought much about it

Stressed — I know my notes aren’t always where they should be

How often does documentation spill into evenings or weekends?

What takes priority during a packed clinic day?

Accuracy

Revenue & performance

Staying on schedule

Keeping up with demand

When new documentation tools are introduced, you feel:

Cautious — I want to make sure quality doesn’t slip

Skeptical — I already know what works for me

Open — if it saves me time, I’m in

Hopeful — I need all the help I can get

If an AI tool suggested a different CPT code than what you selected, your first reaction would be:

I’d want to understand exactly why before changing anything

I’d push back — I know what I did in the session

I’d probably go with it if it seemed reasonable

Honestly, any help with coding is welcome at this point
