The big one, is also near, the National Conference for Provider Administrators between Febraury 7-9, 2012. This is a chance to meet the majority of the Therap team, including all the support staff and a few of the chief developers, as well as other folks from the ID/DD industry.

We’ve also added an extra day for Government Administrators, which is February 6, where we’ll describe and discuss the part of the System for State and County officials in charge of administering and supervising ID/DD services in their regions.
Adding multiple medications to Medications History
The Medication History module of Therap Health Tracking maintains relevant information regarding an individual’s current and previous medications such as dosage, form, count, and frequency.
The module offers the flexible option for users to add multiple medications to a person’s Medication History by importing them from an Excel spreadsheet.
The procedure is simple – just select the Import from Excel link under the Medication History from the Health Tracking module. This will open the Medication History Excel Import page. Here you will find a link to a sample Excel file that you can use to upload your medications.

Now, download the Excel file and enter your medications on it. (Do not change the header cells on the spreadsheet.) Once you are done, just go ahead and attach it on the ‘File’ field.
All you need to do then, if to fill out the form and hit ‘import’.
