What an FCA asks of you before any writing starts

Information arrives across several sessions, from the participant, from informants, from your own observation and from records you did not write. It has to stay attributed, and the parts you could not assess have to stay visible. Ordinary forms lose both: one text box per heading, no record of who said it, and a blank that reads the same as a normal finding.Information arrives across sessions, from the participant, from informants, from your observation and from records you did not write. It has to stay attributed, and what you could not assess has to stay visible. Ordinary forms lose both.

One workspace. Sessions, Function, Domains, Supports and Sources are captured together.Sessions, Function, Domains, Supports and Sources captured together.

Accounts stay separate. Participant, informant, your observation and record-derived information are distinguishable.Participant, informant, your observation and record-derived information stay distinguishable.

Gaps stay legible. Pending, not assessed and contradictory are recorded states, not silence.

  • Exact clinician wording remains intact. What you record is what Review shows. Nothing is paraphrased on the way through.
  • Information states remain explicit. Information supplied, pending, not assessed, not relevant, no limitation reported and contradictory are visible states, not footnotes.
  • Sources stay attached to the contribution they support. They are not pooled into a general reference list.
  • Missing documents are not treated as evidence. A referenced-but-unsupplied report stays visibly unavailable.
  • Saved work can be resumed across a long assessment process. Intake keeps your place and your unresolved items.

Review shows exactly what was saved.

Review assembles your saved wording, attribution and information states, and lists what is still unresolved. It never fills a gap, softens a contradiction or writes a sentence on your behalf.

Who gets what out of it

A solo OT

A guided assessment flow, and far less reorganising before you write. Coming back after a fortnight, your place and your open items are where you left them.

Capture and assessment Review preserve the saved wording. Generated Parts A–E remain editable and require your clinical review; decisions remain yours.

A practice

Every FCA is structured the same way, and each one has a named responsible clinician. Source attribution is there to review, not reconstruct.

Incomplete assessment information stays visible. Clinical editing and report download follow the existing role and responsibility rules.

Where TheraNotes stops

Four limits the product holds deliberately. They are design decisions, not settings.

Sources remain distinct

Participant, informant, observation and record information are not silently merged.Participant, informant, observation and record information are not silently merged.

Missing stays missing

Unknown, pending and unassessed information remains visible rather than being guessed.Unknown, pending and unassessed information remains visible rather than guessed.

Roles remain bounded

Clinical capture and organisation administration follow distinct role rules. Report editing and PDF download are restricted to the responsible clinician.Roles remain distinct. The responsible clinician owns report editing and PDF download.

Review adds no clinical content

Current FCA boundary and what comes later

Invite-only pilot

The internal development pilot includes assessment Review and responsible-clinician drafting of Assessment Process and Parts A–E. Uploaded results, scoped AI suggestions and direct review-PDF download are the selected development workflow. Signing and formal issue remain later stages; the draft still requires clinician review.

The current FCA journey

Capture
In development: FCA capture, review of the saved assessment and optional uploaded results.
Review the saved assessment
Inspect recorded wording, sources, information states and unresolved items. Return to Intake to make corrections.
Draft FCA
In development: the responsible clinician can prepare, inspect and edit Assessment Process and Parts A–E, then deliberately decline, correct and replace that draft.
Finalisation and issue
Clinical finalisation, signature and issue remain outside this pilot release.

Report types after FCA

  • Assistive Technology Assessment
  • Home Modification Assessment, minor and complex
  • Progress Report and Plan Reassessment Report
  • Home and living support needs, and housing evidence for SDA

Other allied health disciplines come later, once their report structures are established.

Common questions

The internal development workflow prepares Assessment Process and Parts A–E as an editable clinician-review draft, with optional uploaded assessment results, scoped AI suggestions and direct PDF download. It does not finalise, sign or formally issue an FCA.
