Chart Audits


When a youth "graduates" from the program or leaves the care for any other circumstance, their care manager must close their file. By law, Bergen's Promise must keep the youth's information for so many years. When a youth is being closed, the care managers must fill out a "chart audit" which is a checklist to make sure all of the proper files are in the child's folder. It keeps track of meetings held and any outside service requests. By doing the chart audit, the company is making sure they have the necessary paperwork and that it is easy to access if needed. After being trained by a fellow care manager, I have been working on closing the files for any youths my team's care managers still have open.
