A therapist can edit their notes, although this should be done with caution. A valid reason to edit a note or patient record is to correct inaccurate notations, such as a mistake about the diagnostic code, intervention, behavior, or prognosis. A therapist might also edit their notes if their client makes a reasonable correction request. Rather than eliminating the information, a therapist should strike out the inaccurate note and include a correction note that is signed and dated.
