Read full descriptionHide full description
This is an easy-to-use app designed for all professionals working in the mental health field. ** NEW ** We now provide the ability to upload ANY PDF or Image files to your client's record. You can have as many "Upload Folder Names" as you need with each folder having an unlimited number of files (PDF or Image). Typical folders/files include: - Session Notes - Invoices - Client Documents Each uploaded file is copied and stored within the app allowing the original file to be moved or deleted. As a clinician, you usually have a lot of paperwork to deal with. The goal of this app is to turn as many of your paper forms as possible into app-based forms. These forms can collect different types of information such as text, dates, Yes/No choices and signatures and then save the form as a PDF file. Good-bye paper! We currently include the following forms: Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) Client Encounter Form Consent for Treatment Comprehensive Assessment Receipt Treatment Plan Receipt Crisis Plan Receipt Evaluation of Need for ICC (Massachusetts specific) MassHealth CANS Permission (Massachusetts specific) REMOTE CLIENT SIGNATURES! When a client signature is required, you can have the client to sign directly on your phone or tablet OR have the client sign Remotely. Therapist Toolbox can send the signature request by text or email. The request includes a link (to both app stores) for the client to download a small signing app. This is a one-time download. The signing app prompts for a unique code to verify the clinician and form, allows the client to sign electronically and automatically returns the signature to Therapist Toolbox. Simplifies tele-therapy; eliminates mailing forms for signature; provide integrity to the signature process. BRIEF PSYCHIATRIC RATING SCALE (BPRS) Therapist Toolbox makes the administration and scoring of the BPRS easy. Previous results are retained and the most recent score for each item is shown while administering the current interview. Of course, the total score is calculated automatically. Color-coded results are shown for each item marking an increase or decrease from the previous score. CLIENT ENCOUNTER FORM This form is used to verify that the services being billed were actually provided. For everyone's protection, the client signature is automatically time stamped. FORMS UNIQUE TO YOUR ORGANIZATION We understand that every Organization is unique and has their own unique needs. To accommodate these differences, Therapist Toolbox has the ability to create any number of forms that will be available ONLY to your Organization. The forms will be created by Applied Behavior Software and a unique code will be provided. When the code is entered into the app, your forms become instantly available. FORMS AND DATA PROTECTION Therapist Toolbox allows for an unlimited number of clients, retains a history for each client and saves each completed form as a PDF file. The PDF file is automatically included as an attachment to an email for you to send to your Organization for appropriate inclusion in the client's health record. No more scanning of printed forms! With the exception of the PDF files, all data is encrypted to protect your clients and their information. We collect the bare minimum of client information and NO personally identifiable information is included on the PDF files to ensure client information stays protected. We make integrating this app with your Organization simple by allowing you to choose how to name the generated PDF files. The options for naming completed forms are: Form Name Clinician Name Client ID Session/Rating Date An auto-renewing monthly subscription is required to use this app. Terms and conditions: https://appliedbehaviorsoftware.com/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://appliedbehaviorsoftware.com/privacypolicy.html
