The OTA is most likely going to document progress toward goals and client outcomes from treatment at the end of each treatment session in the home health setting because this documentation is necessary for tracking progress within the 60-day window of treatment and reimbursement. Reimbursement for the Outcome and Assessment Information Set (B) is a separate process that occurs periodically throughout the treatment period. Physician orders for continuation of OT services (C) are important but would not necessarily be documented at the end of each treatment session. Interprofessional collaboration (D) is also important but may not necessarily be documented at the end of each treatment session unless it directly relates to progress toward goals and client outcomes.
