Documentation for Psych Rehab
As practitioners in behavioral health, we have come to expect there are necessary evils in executing our jobs. This live training will guide attendees through the core competencies of creating the "golden thread": service delivery to reporting of activities. Psychiatric rehabilitation documentation must meet various regulatory requirements that are essential to financial stability. Attendees will acquire skills through several experiential opportunities focused upon writing psychiatric rehabilitation service documentation that encompasses the "golden thread" ensuring regulatory success. Don't miss out on the most engaging training to stomp out the notion of a necessary evil and embrace a thorough and concise capturing of program activity. Contact us for details.
