Correct format for typing the Axis i thru Axis V diagnoses part of an evaluation - krimmer

Posted: Oct 30, 2009

Can someone tell me the correct way to type the Axis I through Axis V diagnoses part of an eval/progress note? I need to know the spacing, tabbing and punctuation. For example:

Axis I: 315.00 Reading disorder

Axis II: V71.09 No diagnosis on

Axis III:

Axis IV: Family stressors

Axis V: Current GAF = 59

Is there a period after the name of the diagnoses on Axis I and II? Are the DSM-IV codes lined up and then the name of the diagnosis tabbed over?

If someone can send me a link on the web where I can look and see an example and also have something to forward to my "boss" I would greatly appreciate it!

Of course, these did not line up correctly, however - HT

everything after Axis is lined up under tab and if more than one line we line it up also.

P.S. Yes, we put periods at the end of the diagnoses. (NM) - HT

Greetings, I recently got a gig for Psychiatric clinic and I am a little confused as to the accepted formatting for DSM diagnoses under AXIS I... Here is what I have been doing, and it's different from examples I've seen online... I'm thinking I learned my current style from either CareerStep or working for Nuance; however, I'm not sure... My clinic doesn't really have any concrete formatting guidelines, but I want to be using best practices nonetheless. &nbs ...

What ever happened to our weekly assessment/review of our ASR production? I received 1 evaluation back in November around Thanksgiving and have not received another one. Am I wrong in thinking we were supposed to get one weekly. Has anyone gotten any more than their original one?
