“A handful of patience is worth more than a bushel of brains”

I found myself thinking about all of the things we can do in Therap and want our agency to do more and more!   Then I realized that our agency is the largest provider in Ct and I really need to relax a bit, and have some “Patience”!   Good things come in time!!

Here in CT, we are having our next CT User Group Meeting on March 15th, 2pm, at Oak Hill’s Campus in Hartford.  If you need some additional information, email me at julianm@ciboakhill.org. It is a nice time to share your wealth of knowledge within Therap!

Had a wonderful time at the conference in NJ in February.   I really enjoyed being in a hotel by myself and no one asking me to feed them, do laundry, and do homework, but don’t tell! I did have to lose 10lbs after those 3 days!

I really liked the Training Management Section and this is next on our list!  I am setting it up this month and any suggestions or helpful tips would be greatly appreciated from anyone out there using the system.  We are not using the entire section of having staff signing up for trainings, but we will be using this for staff to alert them when their training is due.  Think this would be great and  it will help staff from lapsing in their training when it is sitting right there on their First Pg!

Our agency’s motto is “Consistency” and we are currently doing alot of training for Supervisors, RN’s, and Behaviorists!    The ISP section has been working well and Supervisors enjoy the Individual List Pg!  RN’s are finishing entering medications and are working on getting everyone using the Appointment Section in Health Tracking.  Behaviorists are working on ISP’s for mood and anxiety scales, reinforcement schedules, and getting everything on Therap!  No More Paper!  Yeah!

So, I guess I need to have some “Patience”, it will all work out in the end!  We will get there!

Enjoy this weather, we have been very lucky this winter, just 2 snowstorms and one of them was before Halloween.  Amazing!

I have to keep up with this blogging!  I too have been forgetful and busy with Therap!  

Was so excited to see Justin’s Webinar on 9.0 and got to see our new “Time Tracking Form”.    Here at Oak Hill we are very excited to start using this form for Sleeping Patterns, Mood + Anxiety Rating Scales, and so many other ideas have been brought to the table!   I am currently working on this as we speak.

We also held our 2nd “CT User Therap Group” and had 18 people at our meeting on Friday.  This was very exciting and what a great way to share everyone’s “THERAP” knowledge!  Looking forward to the next meeting.  I cannot wait to share with them how our Time Tracking Forms are coming along.

I am hoping after the Time Tracking training is done, we can start on developing the MAR!  We are such a big agency, I think we are all a bit nervous on this.  Any feedback would be welcome on how you all started!

Enjoy the summer months!  It all goes by so quickly……

Hello fellow trainers!  I enjoyed meeting many of you at Fishkill and wished the week had never ended.  I recall sitting in the lobby after the second day saying “I wish the conference went all night!”.  Therap can be very addicting.  And yes, I am addicted.  Looking forward to the upcoming year!

WOW! What a great experience. 

Anyone considering utilizing Therap – don’t wait! You can’t afford to. Lots of helpful people to get you started and user all across the nation that are willing to help you through any struggles. 

Co-Conference with College of Direct Support made it even more powerful being here.

Thanks everyone for all of the support and ideas.
