Motivational Interviewing in Documentation
We are often asked by Motivational Interviewing learners, “How do I document that I used Motivational Interviewing?” Staff, agency leads and supervisors have reasons to add MI to documentation to demonstrate an evidence-based practice is being utilized by staff. We know that the MI intention and skills that we bring to encounters with clients or patients impact the session and client outcomes. Together, we will explore how we can translate the Motivational Interviewing that we use in sessions. We will also consider awareness of suitable MI phrases for documentation to ensure that staff and agencies can evidence MI utilization in their encounters.
