Complete and accurate documentation is one of the most important skills for a physical therapist assistant to develop and use effectively. The new Second Edition of Documentation Basics: A Guide for the Physical Therapist Assistant continues the path of teaching the student and clinician documentation from A to Z.
Mia Erickson and Rebecca McKnight have updated this Second Edition to reflect changes of the American Physical Therapy Association and the ever-evolving profession.

- The discussion on integrating disablement into documentation
- The discussion on how a PTA can show medical necessity and need for skilled care
- The discussion on using documentation to communicate with other providers
- Writing the assessment and plan to coincide with the initial documentation
