Developing Effective and Meaningful Treatment Plans

Training in treatment planning can be elusive and usually focuses on specific requirements related to contracts or funding, not general use for the average clinician. Learning how to develop a collaborative treatment plan is a valuable clinical skill that is often overlooked in private practice. This continuing education opportunity will teach the fundamental components of treatment planning that are based on ethical guidelines and standards of care while providing insight as to how they can enhance care, improve therapeutic rapport, and increase client engagement. 

In this two-hour continuing education web conference, private practice paperwork expert Dr. Maelisa Hall, will share strategies for creating effective new treatment plans and provide detailed information to help clinicians modify treatment plans for individual preference and create a more meaningful experience within the therapeutic relationship. Dr. Hall’s strategies for modification will be coupled with practical tips for saving time in session and achieving more successful therapeutic outcomes overall. 

Dr. Hall is known for facilitating interactive presentations and this event will include the opportunity for attendees to create a sample treatment plan in real time. Dr. Hall will provide a treatment plan template to attendees to use during this event and in their own practices. Attendees can also share their own treatment planning questions, comments, and experiences.

This intermediate instructional level web conference is designed to help clinicians:

1. Explain ethical standards related to treatment planning.
2. Describe potential components of a treatment plan.
3. Identify standards that insurance companies like to see in treatment plans.
4. Identify a treatment plan template to use in clinical practice.
5. Create a collaborative treatment plan that incorporates individualized feedback.
6. Apply strategies to evaluate the effectiveness of goals throughout treatment.
