Common use cases
Use it for service changes, care review preparation, family or representative communication, declined support follow-up, concerns, and routine coordination notes.

Common questions
Is a contact note the same as a progress note?
Not always. A progress note usually records support delivery, while a contact note records a coordination, care management, or communication event.
