Wrap-Up

To bring closure to this session, take time to reflect on key ideas and respond to the Challenge Question posed during Set-Up. Download the Reflection Journal located in the callout box to the right and take a moment to jot notes to yourself on what you have learned documenting the COS rating.

In your reflection, respond to these questions:

• If you don’t already know, talk with your supervisor to find out more about your program’s expectations for COS documentation (e.g., where to document).
• Imagine you are orienting a new colleague to the COS process. How would you describe the features of effective documentation?
• Take a look at the table below. Read each phrase from sample documentation and consider what the issue is that needs to be improved for it to be included in effective documentation.
