What can you do if you're not ready to save a learning assessment in your chart?

Choosing to file a learning assessment as incomplete is appropriate when you are not ready to save it in your chart. This option allows you to indicate that the assessment is still a work in progress and requires further input or information before it can be finalized. Filing it as incomplete prevents any confusion regarding the status of the assessment and ensures that it can be easily revisited and completed later.

This also aids in maintaining the integrity of the data within the chart, as it reflects that the assessment has not yet met the necessary criteria for completion. By using this method, you ensure that the necessary steps for proper documentation and patient evaluation can continue without prematurely closing the assessment. In contrast, the other options may not effectively communicate that the assessment is still pending completion or could lead to potential data loss or misrepresentation of the patient’s learning assessment status.
