After a crisis, what should you document?

Post-crisis documentation should capture what happened, your response, the follow-up actions taken, and any changes you’d make to the emergency plan. Recording the timeline, interventions, patient status, and coordination with others creates a clear record for ongoing care and for improving future responses. This note supports safety, accountability, and quality improvement, and helps ensure continuity of care if others review the case. Details like favorite color, weather, or music aren’t relevant to crisis management and won’t inform care planning.
