Use a case note template

Choose your service’s writing guide when creating a progress note, incident report or another case note.

Where to find it

Notes & charges (or Case notes) → Create case note

Before you start

You need permission to create a case note for the participant and service. A service manager must make the relevant template available; the app does not automatically supply your organisation’s incident-report format.

Steps

  1. Select the participant and service

    Choose Create case note and complete the Participant and Service selections. The Case note section and the sections below it appear once both are selected.

  2. Choose a template

    In Case note template, select the template you need. The service’s default may already be selected. Search the available choices, or choose Standard form if you do not need a custom template.

  3. Write under each prompt

    Complete the template sections using their headings and help text. For an incident report, follow your organisation’s recording and reporting procedures as well as completing the note.

  4. Finish the record

    Check session details, required responses and any attachments or charges that apply. Save a draft if you need to finish later, or submit when the record is ready for review.

  5. Ask for a missing template

    If the template you need is absent, check that you chose the correct service. Ask someone with template-management permission to create it in that service’s Templates tab.
