Trauma-Informed Psychosocial Assessment & Documentation
Generate trauma-informed psychosocial assessments and case notes with clinical precision
What You Can Do
You can generate comprehensive psychosocial assessments that systematically document client presentation, history, and environmental factors while centering strengths and resilience. The skill produces risk and protective factor analyses, safety planning documentation, and progress notes that maintain clinical precision and legal defensibility—all while adhering to trauma-informed practice principles and HIPAA compliance standards.
Features
documents client resilience and protective factors alongside identified needs
flags clinical concerns with specificity while maintaining dignity and hope
uses person-first, non-pathologizing terminology that respects client experience
ensures assessments meet legal standards and licensing board requirements
organizes information across biological, psychological, and social domains for holistic understanding
incorporates risk assessment with collaborative safety and crisis response planning
produces clear clinical summaries for multidisciplinary teams and insurance authorization
documents client movement toward goals with measurable outcomes and clinical observation
Example Output
Initial Psychosocial Assessment Summary:
Client Strengths & Resilience: Despite recent housing instability, Ms. J. maintains close relationships with her sister, demonstrates strong problem-solving skills developed through prior adversity, and expresses clear motivation for employment and stability.
Presenting Concerns: Symptoms consistent with trauma-related anxiety; reported sleep disruption and hypervigilance following domestic violence episode 6 months prior. No active suicidal/homicidal ideation.
Risk & Protective Factors: Risk—social isolation, limited income, unstable housing. Protective—family support system, prior therapy engagement, community health insurance, goal-oriented mindset.
Recommendations: Trauma-focused therapy referral, housing resource connection, employment counseling coordination.
Progress Note Example: Client attended session and reported improved sleep quality this week (5-6 hours vs. 3-4 previously). Practiced grounding techniques learned in session; noted decreased anxiety in triggering situations. Collaborative goal-setting yielded two concrete action steps for housing application. Plan: Continue biweekly sessions, follow up on housing program status.

You can create comprehensive, evidence-based perioperative pain management protocols tailored to individual patient characteristics and surgical requirements. The skill assesses patient risk factors, recommends optimized multimodal analgesia regimens with specific drug selections and dosing rationales, incorporates regional techniques when appropriate, and identifies contingency plans for inadequate pain control or contraindications. This enables you to move beyond generic guidelines toward truly personalized pain management strategies that reduce opioid exposure while maintaining analgesia.

You can systematically analyze complex oral surgical cases by generating comprehensive pre-operative plans that consider osseous anatomy, neurovascular structures, and patient-specific risk factors. Claude structures multifactorial surgical analysis into actionable operative protocols, risk stratification reports, and detailed procedural workflows that reduce surgical time and improve clinical outcomes while providing medical-legal documentation.

Conduct comprehensive sports injury assessments using standardized orthopedic tests, mechanism-of-injury analysis, and functional capacity evaluation. You'll document findings in insurance-compliant formats, identify red flags requiring referral, establish objective baseline measurements for progress tracking, and generate evidence-based return-to-play recommendations with clear functional milestones.

This skill guides you through structured psychiatric case formulation using a biopsychosocial framework. You input patient presentation, assessment data, and clinical history, then receive a comprehensive formulation that integrates symptom synthesis, differential diagnosis reasoning, predisposing/precipitating/perpetuating factors, protective factors, and evidence-based treatment recommendations. The output is suitable for clinical documentation, insurance authorizations, case conferences, and supervision.

You can rapidly synthesize complex patient data—comorbidities, functional status, labs, medications—into a comprehensive risk profile and actionable optimization plan. This skill guides you through ASA classification, procedure-specific risk stratification, and patient-centered consent documentation to ensure thorough clinical reasoning and defensible preoperative assessment.

You'll develop comprehensive, hierarchical differential diagnoses that integrate clinical reasoning principles with patient safety. This framework helps you identify 'can't-miss' diagnoses, challenge diagnostic assumptions, and sequence diagnostic workup logically—whether managing complex presentations, atypical symptoms, or high-stakes clinical decisions in primary care, urgent care, or specialty settings.

You can convert clinical observation notes, standardized assessment results (FIM, COPM, AMPAC, etc.), and patient history into professionally formatted occupational therapy functional assessment reports. The skill synthesizes raw data into cohesive narratives that document baseline function, identify specific functional limitations, justify interventions to insurance companies, and establish measurable treatment goals—reducing hours of manual documentation while ensuring compliance with insurance requirements and clinical standards.

This skill transforms fragmented OT assessment findings—ROM measurements, strength tests, ADL observations—into cohesive clinical narratives that connect impairment to functional limitation to participation restriction. You'll generate SMART goals that satisfy both clinical rigor and insurance reimbursement standards, and build intervention plans with explicit evidence-based rationale that accelerates authorization and justifies medical necessity to payers.
