When I worked at both Johns Hopkins Children's Center and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia I used an APIE format that worked well.  Assessment, Plan, Intervention, and Evaluation.  I have examples I can send you, if interested.  I agree, factual is the ONLY way to go: what you've observed, what you have planned, what you've tried, and what the outcomes were.

Hi Natasha,   When writing in the child's notes I try to keep it all factual. Try to keep it to the point. I also try not to make any personal comments for example. "I think" etc. Try not to leave any spaces and sign and date it. I also write my name in capital in brackets. If your write up is factual you cant go wrong. Good luck. Take care Leanne Gowland HPS. --- On Mon, 19/1/09, natasha_lucy_atkins <natashaatkins1@ hotmail.com> wrote: From: natasha_lucy_ atkins <natashaatkins1@ hotmail.com> Subject: [Hospitalplayspecia lists] writing evaluations in childrens hospital notes To: Hospitalplayspecial ists@yahoogroups .co.uk Date: Monday, 19 January, 2009, 7:04 PM Hiya could anyone offer any advice about what to include when writing up observations about childrens play, development, behaviour etc in their hospital notes. I've just started as a hsp and worrying about putting in too much info or not enough. Anyone have any set guidelines they follow? Many thanks inadvance.
