This document provides training on quality documentation standards for behavioral health therapists. It emphasizes that quality documentation clearly describes a client's symptoms, the evidence-based treatment used including fidelity to the model, specific therapeutic strategies employed, measurable goals and progress, and ensures all information is sufficiently detailed to justify treatment and satisfy various regulatory and accreditation standards. Therapists are instructed to go beyond minimal responses, use objective language, and ensure documentation supports high-quality care and accountability.

Dentist patient relationship and quality careDr Medical
https://userupload.net/mo2f5z40rv8v
Although quality is a genuine concern for dentistry, nowadays more emphasis is placed on quality issues. As dentist-patient interaction is involved in many aspects of care and it is more crucial for dentistry when compared to many other professions, a good dentist-patient relationship is an integral element of quality care. This series of 'practice articles' examines various important dimensions of this interaction. The first and second papers examine the value of trust and communication, the third paper focuses on informed consent and the fourth paper evaluates the relatively broadened role of dentists in behavioural modification.

In order to succeed in medical profession, every healthcare professional including dentists must be competent at least in two areas – in medicine (to be able to absorb knowledge, master the decision-making process, and have practical skills) and communication (communication skills to deal with people – patients, their family members, colleagues, administrative workers, laymen and other medical staff).
family members, colleagues, administrative workers, always obtained medical knowledge and skills in schools. However, they learn communication skills once they are in practice using a trial-and-error method. This is because some senior colleagues used to think that the best way of learning is to put a medical student into the real-world situation where they will find out what is good and what is wrong when dealing with patients. The key idea behind this is that man will learn to swim quickly if he is thrown into deep water.

guys get the most from your testimonialsGUY FLEMMING
Customers testimonials help establish trust because they come from someone who has direct experience with your product. Thanks to the heavy hands of marketers, consumers place more trust in testimonials than they do in most other marketing messages. They believe that the average person is “like them” and isn’t offering the recommendation with an ulterior motive, which is what makes them incredibly powerful. Asking your customers to submit a testimonial to your Web site doesn’t have to be a painful process. In fact, you should be working several natural ways into everyday business.

Building a "maniacal" customer-centric cultureGenpact Ltd
Client centricity is a stated core value of all enterprises. However, few organizations scientifically build processes to measure it, use it to direct incentives and rewards, and most importantly, leverage it to shape company culture. I call those that do so “maniacally client focused organizations.” The impact of such an approach is sustainable growth driven by stronger client penetration, a state in which client recommendations expand the frontline’s reach and effectiveness, and a more engaged and stable workforce.

Customer Satisfaction As a practitioner my focus is on the effects produced on the people we serve. For instance, the result of a training program might be the number of graduates who get a job and keep it for a particular period. Seeing the outcome is a way to create avenues for excellent customer service. Measuring outcomes requires a bigger commitment of time and resources, while impacts are what we hopes for, positive outcomes are what we work for.
A viable measurement tools/approaches to assess your goal.
Customer Satisfaction (CSAT)
CSAT measures customer satisfaction with a specific experience. A single question typically determines: How would you rate your overall satisfaction with the service you received?
Description of measure - CSAT score is the sum of respondents that answered somewhat or very satisfied. The higher the number the higher your customer satisfaction will be. The CSAT would you rate patients experience with using 5 unit scales consisting of Very unsatisfied / unsatisfied / Neutral / Satisfied / Very satisfied. CSAT reflects content validity: This is related to our ability to create questions that reflect the issues we are researching and make sure that key related subjects are not excluded. Reliability is reflected with CSAT concerned with the consistency of our measurement, that’s the degree to which the questions used in a survey elicit the same type of information each time they are used under the same conditions.
Who? The clinical director or the intern will administer the survey/tool.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Examples of How To Make Quality Measurable
Review
3. The definition of “quality” changes depending upon the audience/funder.
Here is an example of the “bare minimum” and NOT considered quality documentation.
Met with client who has anxiety symptoms that impact every day and helped client identify
triggers.
Here’s what quality documentation would look like.
Met with client who’s anxiety symptoms of fixating, ruminating, frequent irritability and
distraction most of the day every day are influencing client’s ability to leave the house, interact
with others, and perform household tasks. Assisted client through the use of cognitive
behavioral therapy to identify their core belief about themselves and how the triggers of
someone making them feel “unworthy” are fueling anxiety symptoms. Worked with client on
how to identify these triggers in a situation this week and reframing their core belief.
If you were the company that was trying to control costs and was responsible for having
to pay for “medically necessary” behavioral health care, which one would satisfy you?
4.
5. Quality is NEVER doing the “bare minimum”.
Today, some, insurances might pass your documentation as a billable service now,
but accountability standards are ever increasing. They are demanding proof of
“bank for the buck!”
With the change to managed care, MCOs are looking much closer at
documentation and are expecting more.
6. House of New Hope marches to numerous “drummers”, all requiring varying
standards of “quality”.
The audience for if documentation meets quality standards is influenced by many.
Here are a few examples:
House of New Hope QI Department does quarterly reviews.
Commission on Accreditation for Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) comes every 1-3 years
(depending on how we do when they come).
ODMHAS comes if there is a complaint or concern brought forward. Otherwise they defer
to CARF.
Medicaid does periodic reviews and comes if there is a complaint or violation.
Managed Medicaid plans have not started reviewing yet, but have indicated they will set a
standard for quality documentation by 2018.
7. There are a lot of regulations and rules, so why should you even take the time to
understand all of them, let alone make sure your documentation matches the
expectations?
First, we hope you have the desire to do a good job.
Second, our contract with you spells out minimum documentation expectations.
Third, funders are demanding outcomes to justify expenses.
Fourth, various entities will come in and monitor and we could have serious negative
consequences if we do not maintain a high quality, such as loss of license and loss of
funds/having to pay back. The decision to pay for a service is almost entirely based in
the quality of your documentation.
However, the best reason to care about quality documentation is that it supports the
great work you’re already doing for each client!
QUALITY = ACCOUNTABILITY + TRANSPARENCY
8. What is an Evidenced Based Treatment? It is a treatment that has been thoroughly
researched with strict protocols for implementation.
Many Clinicians utilize an EBP with clients. If you do choose to use one, your
documentation must show proof of meeting fidelity requirements.
“Fidelity” refers to proof that your implementation is exactly like that approved by
the EBP.
Aside from your supervision notes with your supervisor will also need to reflect
verification that you are correctly implementing your EBP. Some EBPS require that
you be evaluation on a periodic basis, take a certain number of trainings, or be
observed by someone that represents that EBP.
All of this must be documented.
9. Quality documentation is ALL about the way you word things in your notes. If you
are using an EBP, refer to it as such, you must speak to your fidelity to your model.
If you use words that describe your EBP without calling it the official name, here is
an example of what it could look like “used cognitive strategies to assist client in
developing triggers” you are not naming a specific EBP so fidelity documentation
isn’t necessary.
10. The largest audience for your documentation aside from House of New Hope is
CARF. We work very hard to get the highest level of accreditation. For the last 3
cycles we have achieved a 3 year accreditation, which is the highest standard
achieved!
We want to keep up this level of quality. This means that we all need to focus on
ensuring high quality standard of service and documentation.
As you may have heard it said:“if it isn’t documented, it didn’t happen!”
So here are some tips and tricks on how to makes sure you meet the expectations.
11.
12. Always provide fidelity verification of your EBP if naming one
Always provide more detail than the question asks on the documentation. For example,
when asked if they have ever been a victim of abuse or neglect, think beyond sexual or
physical. What about domestic violence, witnessing abuse or neglect, witnessing
domestic violence. Ask the follow-up question and document it!
Be sure to talk about symptoms; specifically, length, duration, and impact.
Be sure to talk about specific strategies you are employing.
Be sure to always talk about physical symptoms that may be influencing their progress
and any recommendations you have to have them seek medical advice.
Don’t forget to talk about medications and if they are following up with their doctor,
especially for “hot” diagnoses like ADHD.
Always make direct reference to the ISP and the current diagnosis you are addressing
in the session.
13. Don’t forget to talk about treatment alternatives they may be using (such as yoga)
Finally, make sure everything that can be measured is MEASURABLE!
14. When you write an ISP for a client, you need to remember to make specific,
measurable goals.
A goal that says “will reduce anxiety symptoms” is back to the “bare minimum”. It
doesn’t meet the standard of quality.
A better way to write it is “anxiety symptoms of ruminating, irritability, fixating, and
worrying consistently will reduce from a daily basis to no more than 3 times a
week”. This goal is much more specific and is measurable. This way when your ISP
is reviewed, you are able to then speak to specifics, not general changes.
Remember, when you make goals measurable, be sure to measure eit regularly and
report your findings.
Insurance companies will not pay for no progress eventually.
15. Always look again at your documentation and ask yourself:
Is it specific
Is it detailed
It it high quality
Did I accurately represent what EBP I used and show fidelity
Did I go beyond the question on the paper
Is it measurable
When in doubt, always ask your supervisor if this documentation would meet
HONH and CARF’s standards.
