Journal system for treatment under section 101
In social addiction treatment, assessment, the treatment plan and day-to-day support need to form a coherent record. This guide looks at documentation under section 101 of the Danish Social Services Act and what to ask a journal system provider to demonstrate. Validi brings notes, care plans, attendance and outcome measurement together.

From first contact to the final review
Record the starting point
Keep the date of first contact, referral, decision and actual start of treatment separate. Record who is responsible and what is still needed. This helps staff identify delays and gives the service and municipality a shared starting point.
Turn assessment into a plan
Record the person's own wishes, difficulties and support needs. Agree goals, interventions and review points. The plan should help at the next appointment and explain why this particular approach was chosen.
Follow what actually happens
Record appointments, attendance, agreements and relevant observations as the work proceeds. Distinguish a cancelled appointment from a completed session. Make the next contact clear so follow-up does not get lost between staff members.
Review progress together
Compare the record with agreed goals, show change over time and explain adjustments. At discharge, bring the treatment history, the person's perspective and arrangements for further support into a professionally approved summary.
What does section 101 require?
Section 101 concerns social treatment for drug misuse. It provides for a holistic assessment and a treatment plan at the start. The general rule is that treatment begins within 14 days of contacting the municipality, with provisions concerning matters such as choice of provider. Read the full scope and exceptions in the Danish Social Services Act.
Your workflow should make dates, the basis for decisions, the plan and reviews retrievable without reconstructing the case from scattered notes. Choosing a particular software product does not, on its own, establish that these responsibilities have been met.
Distinguish social support from healthcare
A section 101 referral does not cover every task in a combined treatment pathway. Distinguish social support, clinical decisions and medication records, even when staff share one system. Anonymous treatment under section 101 a has a separate framework and should be assessed as a distinct requirement.
Healthcare work must follow the relevant Danish record-keeping guidance. In a demo, we can work through the information each professional group needs.
How Validi supports the pathway
Notes and care plans sit alongside attendance and outcome measurement. Validi can help draft progress reports and treatment plans using recorded information. AI makes no decisions: a professional reads, edits and approves the draft. AI-assisted content is marked and included in the version history.
See the broader journal system for addiction treatment. This guide focuses on the section 101 documentation pathway; the sector page covers the service's wider daily work.
What your demo should show
Bring a fictional case from first contact to review. Ask us to show the plan, attendance, daily notes, the history of a correction and staff access. Identify required municipal reports and integrations. A general software tour cannot replace checking those requirements.
From observations to care-plan goals
A goal needs to work in daily practice. Validi can suggest intermediate goals for a professional to review, edit and approve. AI-assisted content is marked and included in the version history. AI makes no decisions about the service user.

A system change in four steps
Define what needs to move
List records, attachments, plans and history. Agree retention requirements, access rights and any need to consult the previous system.
Check a sample export
Agree an export format with your current supplier. Check that service users, notes, dates and attachments remain connected before confirming the scope.
Test a working day
Walk through a fictional case with the relevant professional groups. Check permissions, corrections, reports and exports; agree training and responsibilities.
Approve the transition
Agree the final export, cutover date and a fallback plan if there are delays. Check record counts and selected cases, then have the responsible person approve the result.
Migration scope and costs are agreed before work starts. Enterprise packages include migration as described in the price list; fixed pricing assumes data in the agreed export format. Deviations are priced in advance. Read about switching systems and exporting data.
Bring your workflow to the demo
Use a fictional example. We will walk through the tasks, access rights and migration requirements together.

- Is Validi a municipal case-management system?
- This page covers documentation within the treatment service. A municipal decision and ongoing treatment are different responsibilities. If you need statutory case management, specific submissions or integrations, we will examine those requirements before you choose a solution.
- Can AI write a treatment plan?
- Validi can suggest drafts based on recorded information. A professional considers, edits and approves them; AI does not decide the person's treatment. AI-assisted content is marked and included in the version history.
- Does the 14-day rule apply in every situation?
- Section 101 sets a general rule of treatment starting within 14 days of first contact with the municipality, alongside specific provisions such as choosing another provider. Consult the current legislation for the scope and exceptions. The system should support recording the actual dates in the pathway.
- Can we bring earlier records with us?
- We agree which data is needed and assess the export format from your current system. A sample export, checks on historical records and approval of a test case should precede setting the transition date. Scope and any costs are agreed before the work.
