Progress Notes: Documenting pregnancy loss and perinatal issues

Many therapists are concerned about harming their clients, simply by documenting pregnancy-related issues in progress notes. This includes things such as abortion, fertility treatment, and miscarriage, among other perinatal topics. In this video, Dr. Maelisa McCaffrey of QA Prep answers viewer submitted questions about how to protect the confidentiality of clients with pregnancy loss and pregnancy-related concerns, while still meeting necessary legal and ethical standards for documentation. Specifically, Maelisa answers the following questions submitted by mental health therapists: -How do I document pregnancy loss and the impact of it while maintaining privacy for my clients? -Should I tell clients to avoid saying birth trauma, loss, and anxiety after pregnancy in intake forms? -What is necessary to document regarding a perinatal/pregnant client? -How do I document concerns related to reproductive rights or reproductive healthcare?
