“This book is thorough and well organized. It presents concepts supported with practical examples and scenarios. Documentation guides can easily be updated annually given the rate at which the profession continues to change, and much has changed since the previous edition. With CMS, APTA, and ICF as dominant sources for this book's documentation structure, readers can be confident that the book is relevant and the information accurate.”- Jason R.
