Description:
Records reviews are one of the four essential categories of data sources for a quality forensic mental health evaluation, yet few mental health professionals have ever been formally trained on how to conduct them. Evaluators often ask NBFE questions about these reviews, such as:
• What is a records review?
• How to I determine what records to obtain?
• What am I looking for?
• How do I report what I find?
Learning Objectives:
• Define "records review" in the context of forensic mental health evaluation and summarize what ethical codes and practice guidelines say about them.
• List some of the most common types of records that should be reviewed during the evaluation process.
• Communicate pertinent information from records review in a forensic evaluation report.
