9. Weak vs. strong documentation

Weak — does not survive

Why it fails

Strong — defensible

“Communicates needs. Aphasic.”

No method, no effectiveness, no safety/report link, no baseline comparison.

The post-stroke model note in §3: the method in use, its effectiveness for participation and reporting, the pain-report check, and the reason skilled management was required.

“Speech worse.”

No baseline comparison, no associated-sign screen, no action.

The new-deficit model note in §4: the change versus baseline, the BE-FAST screen, the stroke pathway, and time last-known-well.

“Nonverbal.”

No method, no call-signal, no way to report distress documented.

“Nonverbal (post-trach); writing board and a reliable call-signal established; understanding intact; able to signal pain/needs.”
