In addition to developing a thorough knowledge of the functional outcomes desired by all stakeholders in their patient's care, students must continue to build their documentation skills in a technologically changing environment utilizing computer and web-based programs.It tackles more practical examples for the PTA student's review, with examples of appropriate and inappropriate patient data.
