How to Print a Clint's Diagnosis

The way to print the Diagnosis:
  • First go to the Diagnosis by clicking "Diagnosis" on the NavBar.
  • Next, right click on the Dx page and select "Print." 
  • This is not the neatest because it prints the NavBar as well as the Diagnosis, but it works. 

If you want to eliminate the NavBar:
  • Left click and hold the left button down just outside the boarder surrounding the Dx information at one corner and drag to the opposite corner to highlight the whole Dx area. 
  • Then, right click inside the highlighted box and select "Copy." 
  • The Dx can now be pasted into a word document and printed cleanly from there!

Assessment Form - Cosmetic Change

**This does not impact any functionality of the assessment or completing the Assessment Form**

There is a slight cosmetic change to the Assessment Form:

The labels for PROBLEM, FREQUENCY, DURATION, IMPACT, are now in all caps. 

This is to make it easier for supervisors and reviewers to find these sections on a printout or review page. 
(We have found that the bold labels do not show up on printouts or completed forms)

Outpatient and Unit Notification Overload?

Outpatient and Unit Therapists, do you toil day in and day out, with a daily unending list of notifications about other Therapists clients? Does your Home Page list Expiring Authorizations and Critical Authorizations for a myriad of faceless and unknown clients?

A solution? You won't find it at your local Fred Meyer, nor can you buy it on TV... It is only offered here, at no charge, to you! The solution: Your assigned client list needs a good cleansing.

**Cautionary Notes about Cleansing:
Don't clean out new referrals!
Don't clean out clients who you need to receive notifications on!

Here's how:

1. Click on "Employee" tab at the top of your screen

2. Underneath your picture, locate the "Assignments" box. Within it, the first heading is "Assigned Client," and to the right, click on the "edit" button.

3. The heading for the box will be "CLIENT ASSIGNMENT:" [your name] and to the right, click on the "show assigned only" button.

4. You will now be looking at a salmon-colored list of clients who are assigned to you. Please comb through the list and click on the "unassign" button for any client who is not yours. You should also be able to to indicate if you are the Case Manager, Primary, and what Program you are working within.

ISSP Annual Update Visit Type Added

ISSP Annual Update Visit Type

There is a new visit type available to most programs! It does not change anything about how ISSP reviews are done, but adds a needed label in the Visit List at the one year mark.

The "ISSP Annual Update" contains the same information as an "ISSP Update" used for 30 or 90 day reviews, however, it is done at the one year mark (typically the same time as the Assessment Annual Update). 


Impact
The Introduction of this visit type does not change how ISSPs are updated, but does introduce an easy to find label for the service (for the purposes of reviews). This visit also has components that people completing the visit will not notice but ensures that appropriate and necessary signatures (psychiatrist) are connected to these annual reviews.   

Billing Tip
ISSP's are non billed services. To create billing for the service (and your time), complete this visit with client or family present and do an additional service note to capture billing. 

Sign and Submit Page

Things on the sign off page to pay attention to...


Location: Check this drop down box to make sure it is correct.

Diagnosis: Change if necessary to the Diagnosis that your visit was addressing

Non-Billable: No or Yes… Don't worry about this and don't change it. 

Files: If there is a fail you wish to attach to the visit…say a scan of the kid’s artwork  or a Crisis Response document… you can attach it here.

Start Time&End Time: VERY IMPORTANT!!! Change this to reflect your exact start and stop times! Your sessions are most likely NOT 60 minutes… This MUST reflect your face to face time with the client!!!!

Enter Password: You know this!

Sign and Submit: You have completed the visit and want to sign off! Don't sign if you know there are problems with the visit that need to be fixed as they are more easily fixed prior to signing.

Save Billing Info: Saves information on this page if you are not done and need to come back to finish later.
Discard Visit:  If you want to erase the information that you typed into the entire form and start over, use this button. Again, it will erase everything you have typed in since clicking on the "Begin Visit" button!

Signatures: Kids love to sign on the sig pads! It is preferable, but not required, to have a client sign off on every visit. For assistance or troubleshooting: CLICK HERE! gdocs
