OCCUPATIONAL, FUNCTIONAL, & CARE COORDINATION DOCUMENTATION TOOLKIT

Document the realities of functioning—not simply symptoms—with structured clinical resources designed to connect functional abilities, limitations, accommodations, environmental barriers, care coordination, advocacy, recovery, and continuity of care.
