The Clinical Documentation Sourcebook: The Complete Paperwork Resource for Your Mental Health Practice

Book Description

All the forms, handouts, and records mental health professionals need to meet documentation requirements

The paperwork required when providing mental health services continues to mount. Keeping records for managed care reimbursement, accreditation agencies, protection in the event of lawsuits, and to help streamline patient care in solo and group practices, inpatient facilities, and hospitals has become increasingly important. This updated and revised Third Edition provides you with a full range of forms, checklists, and clinical records essential for effectively and efficiently managing your practice.

From intake to diagnosis and treatment through discharge and outcome assessment, The Clinical Documentation Sourcebook, Third Edition offers sample forms for every stage of the treatment process. Greatly expanded from the second edition, the book now includes twenty-six fully completed forms illustrating the proper way to fill them out, as well as fifty-two ready-to-copy blank forms. The included CD-ROM also provides these forms in Word format so you can easily customize them to suit your practice. With The Clinical Documentation Sourcebook, Third Edition, you’ll spend less time on paperwork and more time with clients.

Includes documentation for child, family, and couples counseling
Updated for HIPAA compliance, as well as to reflect the latest JCAHO and CARF regulations
New focus on clinical outcomes supports the latest innovations in evidence-based practice

Download Description

In its first two editions, The Clinical Documentation Sourcebook became recognized as the most comprehensive and useful practice management resource on the market. This Third Edition provides even more value, offering forms and documents for a broader array of client populations (including for the first time children, families and couples), as well as the full range of resources needed for compliance with the new HIPAA regulations. Redundancy is reduced from the previous editions, while integration of forms across sections is improved. Finally, the new focus on clinical outcomes supports the movement toward evidence-based practice in mental health.

Customer Reviews:

Below average software.......2007-10-06

The software does NOT work on an iMac. When used with Windows Vista, the forms are available to customize, however, they need streamlining and updating with regard to fonts, spacing, etc. The documents don't look as if they have been updated aesthetically since the first edition of the book. Disappointing.

The Clinical Documentation Sourcebook.......2007-07-12

This sourcebook is the best one I have found to assist with beginning a clinical practice and producing legal documentation.

A must have..........2006-11-10

This book was a life saver for me as I opened my solo practice this summer. Without it, I would have spent countless hours developing these forms myself. The feature that allows you to customize the forms is especially nice. I recommend this for new or veteran mental health workers.

Book Description

Hang in there-it's almost over!

Much of the nation has been counting the days since the first inauguration of the president who said, "I'm the commander-see, I don't need to explain-I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being president."

Yes, there is hope-and now you can count down the days while enjoying:

the best of Bush bloopers and blunders

the indictments, scandals, embarrassments and audacity of the president's advisors, admirers (think Harriet), cronies, appointees (see "cronies") and strange bedfellows

Customer Reviews:

What a bunch of bullcrap.......2007-08-03

Only an immature liberal would buy this. Who counts down two full years of their lives just so one president will finally get out of office? Here's a tip for the people that do: go get a life. Bush may not make a good president, but sitting here complaining doesn't do any good. Move on with your own lives and just hope that the next president is better. If he isn't, then what are you going to do about it? Just live with it and stop your whining.

Great Calendar.......2007-06-23

Great Calendar! Funny quips every month. On average five funny items per month. Good sized, functional calendar otherwise. A good purchase.

HOW CHILDISH.......2007-05-01

This calendar is nothing more than your typical liberal sour grapes. Keep it up guys. I like it as it helps our cause. Maybe one of these days the libs will grow up and become educated on the facts of this country and what is really happening.

I Can't Wait.......2007-02-20

Well, it's 2007, and the next Presidental election is coming up in less than two years. And what is a better way to bring it all in than a countdown calendar? True, it will take some time to get this nutjob out of office, but waiting will be twice the fun with this calendar. I highly recommend for people who truly love their country. Now I'm just worried about who our next President will be...

not happy.......2007-02-07

I am very unhappy that I ordered a 2007 calendar on Jan. 4, and have been notified - AGAIN - that its shipment has been "delayed". I cancelled my order today. I will have to reconsider using Amazon for "time sensitive" purchases.

Book Description

A complete guide for turning a relocation plan into a reality

The Office Relocation Sourcebook provides relocation teams, at firms of all sizes, with the background information and practical guidance they need to pull off a relocation project cost-effectively and with a minimum of disruption to the employees being moved. Written by the head of the Human Factors Group at Exxon Biomedical Sciences, Inc., this valuable resource:

Arms you with all the forms, checklists, surveys, and summaries guaranteed to make any office relocation project as painless and cost-efficient as possible
Guides you step by step through the entire relocation process, from the initial planning stages to post-project evaluation
Covers both the nuts-and-bolts issues and crucial human factors side of the relocation equation
Features a computer disk packed with valuable relocation tools, including a comprehensive relocation template

Take the sting out of your next relocation project with The Office Relocation Sourcebook.

Office relocation is one of the most challenging aspects of a facility professional's job. This challenge and the thrill of meeting it are even greater for members of the relocation team who have had little or no prior relocation experience. To begin with, there are the thousand and one logistical details that go into the designing, planning, and implementation of a relocation project. Then, there is the seemingly impossible task of keeping affected employees happy and supplied with everything they need to perform their jobs—without running into massive cost overruns.

The Office Relocation Sourcebook takes the sting out of relocation. Written by an author with twenty-five years' experience in facility management and human factors design, this valuable resource provides all the background information and practical guidance needed to pull off a cost-effective relocation project with a minimum of disruption. These methods and techniques are appropriate for firms of any size, regardless of the number of employees being relocated.

Writing in a warm, conversational style, peppered with handy checklists, summaries, and survey tools, Dennis Attwood guides you step by step through the entire relocation process, from the initial planning stages to post-project evaluation. He provides coverage of nuts-and-bolts issues through the human factors side of the relocation equation. For instance, Attwood explores workers' reasons for resisting relocation and describes innovative communication techniques that can substantially reduce employee resistance and the common adverse side effects of disrupting the workplace. In his discussion of work system planning, he compares traditional design arrangements, such as the neighborhood and team concepts, with alternative workplace strategies, including reuse of existing office space, and the office outside of the company.

The enclosed disk supplies a variety of useful tools and, in addition to the forms and checklists found in the book, arms you with a valuable relocation template.

Book Description

In this important sourcebook, JIT expert Hiroyuki Hirano provides the most vital information available on the visual workplace. He describes the 5S's: in Japanese they are seiri, seiton, seiso, seiketsu, and shitsuke (which translate as organization, orderliness, cleanliness, standardized cleanup, and discipline). Hirano discusses how the 5S theory fosters efficiency, maintenance, and continuous improvement in all areas of the company, from the plant floor to the sales office. This book includes numerous case studies, hundreds of graphic illustrations, and over forty 5S user forms and training materials.

Customer Reviews:

5 Pillars Rocks.......2007-04-20

As a quality and safety manager for more than 15 years, I STILL found this book to be wonderfully useful. A clean, well structured and smooth functioning work environment MUST be at the basis for quality and productivity. The text is well organized and presented with clearn B&W photos, flow charts and sample forms. Hirano also includes plenty of funny, true life stories to keep the book interesting. Highly recommended.

Turn the 5S principles into a process for your organization..........2006-11-01

...this book shows you how. The author explains how costly untidiness and dirt can be. Imagine the cost of employees wandering around looking for tools instead of adding value through their work. This is one of the few books you can study and then implement the lessons learned from your study. For years to come every time you study it you will learn something new; therefore I recommend the sturdy hardcover edition. You will find your colleagues wanting to continually improve their 5S process too.

Readable and practical book.......2005-12-05

I checked this out from the library and read it in one day (I didn't do anything else all day, and I'm a fast reader). Hirano's style is very educational: he resorts to humor, he states his biases clearly, he details step-by-step instructions, he warns about pitfalls, he gives his own insight on overcoming those pitfalls. He walks the walk: the only photo of him in the book is of him cleaning the floor in a factory.

For anyone already familiar with Lean Principles, the focus of this book is 5S, of which the English translation is approximately Sort, Straighten, Shine, Standardize, Sustain. However, Hirano never or rarely uses those, preferring instead to use more accurate (but less alliterative) words like, Organization, Orderliness, Cleanliness, Standardized Cleanup, and Discipline. He explains strategies for starting and for sustaining these "pillars", such as a ruthless red-tag campaign to initiate organization, signboards to maintain orderliness, and 5S patrols to maintain cleanliness and to improve on what already exists. He includes sample forms and kick-off campaign letters.

Best of all, this book shows how 5S is the basis for all other Lean Principles, such as reducing muda and improving throughput. A fantastic resource that I know I will be using over and over.

GREAT!!!.......2005-10-21

A simple "how-to-do-it" book (step by step) with many examples. When I started to talk to top management I did not have to convince them, the book did this.

The 5S's (Pillars) really work!.......2000-03-31

The 5 Pillars described in this book are the 5S's derived from the Toyota Production System. Are: Organization, Orderliness, Cleanliness, Organized Cleanup and Discipline. The 5S's help lay a solid foundation for the implementation of the Just in Time system in any plant.

The book talks about a step by step procedure for implementing this productivity improvement tool in any organization. This tool is highly effective in something as simple as an office area to something as complex as a Nuclear power plant. We realized an improvement of 11% in productivity at our manufacturing facility and has helped us increase the morale of the workers substantially.

The chapters could have been put in a better order as one needs to jump from one chapter to the other for simple references. It covers all the details in depth, but is not put in the best possible manner.

Customer Reviews:

Applies to Real-World work situations.......2001-08-10

This book gave me some fresh material to incorporate into a leadership program that I was creating. These aren't fun and games type of activities. They seem to be geared more toward assessing a group and getting information from the group to measure skill-set. This book would probably be more appropriate for a manager to use with his/her own group, compared to an instructor/student setting.

Fax: Facsimile Technology and Systems (Artech House Telecommunications Library)

ASIN: 0471950726

Book Description

Most modems today have fax capability and come bundled with fax software, but their manuals are strangely silent about how the whole process works. This first part of this book gives a basic grounding in fax modem technology to both the novice and experienced user. It explains why fax machines are easy to set up and then work every time, but computer faxes are tricky to install and often fail to work reliably. The second part is a complete reference for technical users. From the computer hardware and system software on your desk through the modem itself to the international standards set by ANSI, the CCITT and ITU, this section brings all the relevant technical documentation together in one place. Part three shows how easy it is to write your own fax software. Full code is presented and developed for turning ordinary text into fax images and then transmitting them, as well as for receiving faxes and displaying them on screen or printing them out. A disk with full source code and many associated utilities is included.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent Book........2004-10-22

This book is like a bible for Fascimile technology. Which includes complete code to drive your class 1 and 2 modems. I found just one bug in making my intel modem work. I have never seen such a comprehensive book. kudos to the author.

Complete fax development book.......2000-02-24

I needed information how to develope a fax sending program for a fax modem, but it was hard to get the information. But this book solved all my problem.

Extremely comprehensive reference.......1999-07-12

This book receives five enthusiastic stars for the outstanding information content but only four stars for the included sample software.

I've been a commercial fax software developer for more than ten years, and I was surprised to see how much I learned in this book. The information content is the best I've ever seen for a fax modem book, and Andrew Margolis' writing style is professional and very easy to read. He is clearly a veteran of this business, and it seems like he really enjoys writing.

He exhaustively covers virtually everything that one would need to do anything with a fax modem: T.4 image structure, class 1, class 2, class 2.0, T.30 handshaking, and TIFF files. His coverage is exceptionally complete, and he does not limit himself to just the standards. Throughout the text he discusses where the real world conflicts with "how it should be" and how one works around them. One cannot wish these issues away, and discovering them early rather than later is simply golden.

Coverage of serial-port control is a bit thin, and it only addresses the PC platform, but this is such a minor nit that it does not detract from the work as a whole. UNIX developers will have to discover how to talk serial ports from some other source.

The only reason this does not receive five stars is that the sample software seems fairly pedestrian and not terribly good as an example. It seems that Andrew has sacrificed substantial performance for potential clarity, something I attribute to a likely conscious choice rather than an oversight. Since he is probably also a commercial fax developer, I suspect he didn't want to give away his secrets. I know that most of the "bit-banging" code is horrendously slow, although probably straightforward to read. In his position I may have made the same tradeoff, but the reader is left to perform these optimizations himself. Some of the optimizations are not at all obvious.

Anybody remotely involved in writing or supporting fax software should have this book. Other than my objections to the include sample code, I cannot think of a single thing that would have improved this book, other than it having it be in my library ten years ago.
