 ?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.)
