TAR
Also written as: TAR — Treatment Administration Record
Treatment Administration Record - documentation system tracking therapeutic interventions and patient responses in psychiatric care settings.
Full Definition
Treatment Administration Record (TAR) is a specialized documentation system used in psychiatric facilities to track non-medication therapeutic interventions and patient responses. The TAR includes group therapy participation, individual therapy sessions, occupational therapy activities, recreational therapy, behavioral interventions, and other treatment modalities. Unlike the MAR which focuses on medications, the TAR captures the patient's engagement level, response to interventions, and progress toward treatment goals. This documentation is essential for treatment planning, insurance authorization, and demonstrating medical necessity for continued psychiatric hospitalization. The TAR serves as evidence of active treatment and patient participation in their recovery process.
Usage
Usage note: Distinguish clearly from MAR in documentation; focus on therapeutic interventions rather than medications.
