Monitoring/Case
Management Services:
Comprehensive Behavioral
Assessments determine if a destructive pattern exists.
A Performance Contract
provides a roadmap for improving behaviors.
Case Management or Activity
Monitoring provides the incentive for a client to use the roadmap that has been
created. iMR.com has been providing
monitoring services since the mid -90’s and has improved the effectiveness of
these tools over time.
The principal element of the
current Compu-Tools monitoring or Case Management program is that the “Client”
becomes responsible for their own actions – or lack thereof.
Client activity reporting
tools are provided to each client – (Reporting Slips and Envelopes). Activities
can be reported via the US Postal Service, fax, e-mail
and, in some cases, direct entry onto the imresponsible.com web-site.
Each report is date and time
stamped as received. The following
information is taken from the activity reports:
·
Client Name
·
Referral Name
·
Date of the
client activity
·
Description of the
client activity
·
Signature of
witness to activity
·
Client Comments
·
In Compliance
with Performance Contract – Check Box
·
Not In Compliance
with Performance Contract – Check Box
·
Client Signature
– Signifying that all information is correct
·
Need for more
Reporting Materials – Check Box
The information on the
activity forms is entered into a database that is unique for each customer and
protected with three layers of security.
When an authorized representative of the company logs onto the
imresponsibility.com web-site and wishes to view client activity, specific data
is extracted from the database and can be viewed or downloaded via encrypted
PDF files.
A system of activity alerts
has been developed that provides immediate notification to companies or
clinicians if certain, defined, activity parameters are not met. (E.g. A client
has agreed to 5 support meetings and one urine analysis each week. An alert is established
at >4 meetings or 0 urine analysis). A fax, or e-mail, can be sent to a referral
source on Wednesday – if these conditions were not met during the previous
week.
The historical use of this
program has proven that the client soon recognizes that there is never a
legitimate obstacle to reporting activities. The computer monitoring system
never sleeps and ignores excuses. The
Client will be more inclined to accept responsibility for his, or her, own
behavior – and the results that relate to them.
Without Case Management or
Monitoring, the Client is Assessed and is told to
comply with the Behavioral improvement conditions included in the Clinician’s
recommendations and slipped into the “ether”
With Case Management or
Monitoring, the Client either complies with the conditions on a signed
Performance Contract or faces an immediate intervention and escalated treatment
options if they fail to do so.
