Review of The Clinical Documentation Sourcebook: The Complete Paperwork Resource for Your Mental Health Practice (Paperback)

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.

Product 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.

With The Clinical Documentation Sourcebook, Third Edition, you'll spend less time on paperwork and more time with clients.
