| ?Does
TheraScribe® 4.0 meet the needs of managed care? |
Yes. The
treatment plans and progress notes generated by TheraScribe
4.0 meet the requirements of JCAHO and most third-party payers.
A sample treatment plan can be downloaded
and shared with the third-party payers and Managed Care Organizations
with whom they work in order to obtain pre-approval. In addition
to authorized sessions and patient progress, TheraScribe
4.0 tracks outcome data, which is increasingly required by Managed
Care organizations. Treatment outcomes can be analyzed by diagnosis,
presenting problem, provider, patient demographics, and time
frame. Outcome results can be displayed in chart format or as
3-D graphs.
|
?Can
I make changes in reports that would affect all customers? |
Users with Administrator-level security
may create customized clinical or administrative reports by adapting
the built-in reports, or by using the "Report Wizard"
functions, which are described in more detail in the User's Guide
and in online help in TheraScribe. (See Using Custom Report
Wizards.) Although the Report Wizards can help, creating reports
from sophisticated database applications like TheraScribe®
4.0 can be quite challenging. If you are a novice computer user,
we urge you to leave the report customization function aside
until you gain complete familiarity with TheraScribe.
You may then follow the instructions in this section to add or
delete fields from the standard clinical report sections, or
to paste in your practice's logo at the top of the report.
|
?Can
you order the Adult Progress Notes Planner without purchasing the
Adult Treatment Planner, 2nd Edition? |
No, the Adult
Progress Notes Planner is used in conjunction with the Second
Edition of the Adult Treatment Planner.
|
?Can
a progress notes planner be purchased without having the corresponding
treatment planner? |
No, you must
have the latest edition of the Adolescent, Adult, and/or Child
Treatment Planner in order for the corresponding progress notes
planner to work.
|
?Are
there add-on modules for TheraScribe® 4.0? |
Yes, you
can purchase CDs for treatment planners, homework planners, and
progress notes planners. You can download the demo
or call 1-800-236-3637 for a demo to see the new add-on modules.
|
?Can
I undo a deletion from one of the TheraScribe libraries? |
No, you cannot
bring back any library text that has been deleted without re-installing
the library. We recommend editing a specific note, intervention,
etc., as opposed to deleting it.
|
?Does
TheraScribe® 4.0 include the Biopsychosocial History Form? |
Yes, on the
main screen of TheraScribe®
4.0,
there is a link to the Biopsychosocial History Form, which resides
on the TheraScribe web site.
|
?What
are some of the unique differences between the basic and advanced
security levels?
|
- The Administrator
level allows the user to have complete control over all functions
of TheraScribe® 4.0.
Solo providers should set themselves up with Administrator
security.
- The Advanced
user setting should be used for providers to whom you wish
to give the ability to permanently alter libraries.
- Basic
users are prevented from altering TheraScribe libraries.
For a specific
list of security-level functions, see the User's Guide or go
to online help in TheraScribe
|
?I
cannot find any of the generic drugs I prescribe in your Medications
Prescribed list.
|
To add new
medications prescribed by the primary clinician or a treating
physician, press the Add button to the right of the Medications
Prescribed display field.
|
?How
do I edit libraries for a particular patient? How do I edit libraries
for the entire patient database? |
The Edit
Libraries tab allows users with Administrator-level or Advanced-level
security to permanently change the contents of the library menus
by editing, adding, or deleting options from the libraries. The
Planner Libraries subtab allows users to enter custom treatment
planner and progress note planner options, delete or edit built-in
options, and add or change links between objectives and interventions.
The Other Libraries subtab allows users to edit the contents
of libraries not related to the add-on Practice Planner library
modules. (For more detailed information, see the Editing Planner
Libraries section of the User's Guide or go to online help in
TheraScribe.)
