Organizational Expectations Regarding Documentation Practices in Athletic Training.

Context: Although guidance is available, no nationally recognized standard exists for medical documentation in athletic training, leaving individual organizations responsible for setting expectations and enforcing policies. Previous research has examined clinician documentation behaviors; however, the supervisor's role in creating policy and procedures, communicating expectations, and ensuring accountability has not been investigated.

Objective: To investigate supervisor practices regarding support, hindrance, and enforcement of medical documentation standards at an individual organization level.
