The Clinical Documentation Sourcebook (PDF)

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.
