Implementation of computer-assisted treatment planning in a prison psychiatric facility.
1. An effective treatment plan must be behaviorally based and descriptive, yet concise, with clear, measurable outcomes. It should be the synergistic product of the interdisciplinary team process. 2. The use of a computer program and a firm commitment to making the team process work can generate a superior, clinically sound, practical, legible product, while liberating professionals for more clinical time. 3. One does not need to be a computer expert to use software to generate treatment plans. The program you choose must be capable of being modified by the user to respond to changing needs of patients and capabilities of staff.
