Are all athlete injury records up to date?

When an athlete is symptom-free and back on the field, it can feel like the job is done. But one last step matters just as much: making sure the documentation reflects the recovery.

Keeping injury records up to date ensures your reports stay accurate and everyone on staff is aligned. Here are a few quick ways to close the loop properly:

  • Add a Clearance Note:

    • If a physician has cleared the athlete, make sure that clearance is formally documented.
    • A Clearance Note creates a formal record of medical approval and ensures return-to-play decisions are properly authorized.
  • Complete the RTP Step:
    • Removes the athlete from “concussed” reporting
    • Locks in a complete and accurate recovery timeline
    • Confirms full protocol compliance
  • Log a Status Change When Needed:
    • Not every head injury leads to a concussion. If, within 24–48 hours of logging a suspected or diagnosed concussion, an athlete is determined not to have a concussion, record a Status Change Note to maintain accurate records and keep everyone aligned.
