According to Gately & Borcherding, "As the profession continues the move toward evidence-based practice, well-documented occupational therapy services are more likely to be recognized and reimbursed as a cost-effective treatment in improving health and quality of life" (cited in Clark & Bloom, 2006).

Course provides multiple opportunities to practice writing notes according to the suggested forumulas.
