Jim, Sazzad, Asif, Jeff, Jordan, and I have spent the remainder of this week between Lincoln and Omaha.

We’ve been working with folk’s at the state on the referral process (much more about that here), annual plans, and individual budgeting.

We’re going to have some really exciting stuff coming out here over the next few months, be sure to watch this space for much more.

We have continued to learn much more about radio towers courtesy of Jim, the current conversation is surrounding how one changes a light-buld at the top of a 2,000 foot tower.  Answers on a postcard please!

Jeff, Pushpita, Naim, and I spent a great day with the folks from Mosaic, reviewing their national implementation and making plans for the coming years.

The degree of planning and organization that these folks have is truly remarkable and is a really great example of how to run a Therap implementation (and I’m sure they’d love to tell you all about it!).

There are going to be some great things coming as we move forward togther.

There are a group of Therap folks in San Diego, California and a bunch more in Kissimmee, Florida. The real hard-core team though is in Lincoln, Nebraska:

It’s a tad chilly here, but things are really heating up on the Therap front.

We had a great day of meetings today and are looking forward to more tomorrow.

Jeff, Sazzad, and I have been in Lincoln, Nebraska for a couple of days work with folks on some great new innovations on Individual Budgets, Referrals, and Person Centered Plans.

I am especially excited about the referral system which you can read about here.

I am very excited to announce the release of a new Individual Budgeting application, the second step in our statewide implementation of Therap in Nebraska.  While this application has initially been built just for the folks in Nebraska it is very much part of our growing suite of applications for States and Counties.

If you would like to learn more about the application, check out it’s User Guide or the Nebraska Page.

If you would like to learn how this and other applications could work for you and your county or state, just give me a call.

Sazzad and I have been here in Lincoln, Nebraska working with the state folks on the new system that we are developing for them (and in particular a very exciting Indivudal Budgeting application).

We have had a series of very productive meetings including one with our existing customers out here who are now submitting their Critical Incident Reports though Therap to the state (just two weeks after we signed our contract, how’s that for efficiency!)

We did so well that after finishing today we had time to take a look around the state capitol.  It’s a gorgeous building, but probably the coolest thing we saw was when we stopped into to watch their government in session.  Nebraska is the only unicameral system in the country.  While we were watching debate, the speaker stopped to give the senators opportunity to recognise 40 5th graders and their teachers who were also in the gallery.  The senators duly stood and applauded.  

Very cool

Good to see kids seeing democracy in action.  Good to see representatives acknowledge who they are accountable to.

The building itself is full of stone and marble lined halways which reminded me of wandering arounf Hogwarts in video games!

Now it’s off to North Dakota

Sazzad and I have a very busy week coming up.  It all kicks off in Buffalo, New York on April 5th when we will be attending a New York User Group Meeting (click on the link to learn more) being hosted by Community Services for the Developmentally Disabiled.

From there we are off to Lincoln, Nebraska to start work on some exciting new projects there and we’ll finish off the trip with some meetings in Bismark, North Dakota.

It’s an exciting time to be part of the Therapverse!

Only a few days into our contract in the Great State of Nebraska and things are already moving full steam ahead.  The best way to keep up with what is going on is to keep an eye on the Nebraska page at www.TherapServices.net/Nebraska.

There is lots of information there for providers in Nebraska to learn all about Therap and about Incident Reporting in person.

We are going to be going live with Incident Reporting on April 1st so be sure to sign up for webinars on Provider  Administration and Incident Reporting.
