Are your notes putting your practice at risk?
Skipping a HIPPA compliance checklist or letting sloppy therapy documentation slide could cost you big - legally, financially, and ethically. In this episode of The Group Practice Exchange Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Tiana Kelly, who's here to help you strengthen your compliance practices, streamline your counseling documentation, and make sure your systems (and team!) are protecting your clients and your business.
We're covering what you actually need in your HIPPA compliance checklist, how to spot the most common therapy documentation mistakes before they snowball, and why having the right therapy documentation software can make all the difference.
Here's what you'll learn in this episode:
- The most common compliance gaps in group practices - and why skipping your HIPPA compliance checklist isn't worth the risk.
- How to avoid the top counseling documentation mistakes Dr. Kelly sees over and over in chart audits.
- Why timeliness in therapy documentation isn't just a nice-to-have (and what to do if you've fallen behind).
- The features you should look for in therapy documentation software to make compliance easier on your whole team.
- How to implement new compliance policies without overwhelming your clinicians or disrupting client care.
If you've ever wondered, "Am I doing enough to protect my practice?" this conversation will give you the clarity - and actionable steps - you need. Compliance doesn't have to be intimidating, and your HIPPA compliance checklist, counseling documentation, and therapy documentation software can work together to keep you safe and efficient.
