Helpful Information

Students are not required to write cancellation narratives during clinical/field or capstone internships. However, this example is included to show what will be expected once they are employed in the field, where all calls—including cancellations—require a written narrative.

Disclaimer: Everyone writes PCRs a little differently. As long as your information is placed in a section that makes sense, is documented in DCHARTI format, and you obtained all pertinent information, that is acceptable. PCRs should tell a story. If your PCR is subpoenaed one day, you should be able to remember that patient based on your report. If it isn't documented, it did not happen. Additionally, please ensure you follow all procedures for checking in to your shift, log all patient encounters before checking out, and complete all end-of-shift requirements prior to leaving the site.
