Today’s tip is on how to unlock a goal or objective when it is “locked by subsequent notes”.

Foothold will be updating their look in the near future. You can see it for yourself...

Handling that pesky hospitalization data.

Adjusting the report of medication changes.

Foothold has completed an update we requested and we can now print out reports by consumer.

I came to my attention that some of the staff have asked for instructions on how to view whether an objective was documented recently or in some cases what the comments were for a particular session. I created a set of instructions for viewing prior dates, looking at the documentation in a weekly or monthly view and how to view progress notes. I’ll put these in your mail boxes for the program binders.

When printing the new IHP form, it will be helpful to print it with both the background graphics and the headers/footers that include the date and page numbers. To do this, when you get to the print preview, look on the left side for the print settings. There should be a plus symbol that says “more settings”. When you click on this, it will allow you to check off the appropriate boxes.

There is a lot to discuss this week!

I have attached the new instructions for the updated monthly reports. Foothold made changes which will eliminate the need for us to copy and paste the objectives into the form. I will print these for each of your binders and they will be in your boxes next week. Also, when sending up the IHP, you will not need to print the objectives a second time in order to include an “objective listing”. This only applies if you’re using PPS, since in Foothold it would be the exact same information. The IHP checklist will eventually be updated once everyone is moved over to the new system.

Today’s tip is how to print just the objectives without the IHP form. If you go to “services” and “service” plans, and change it from “data entry” to “reports”- when you go to the “plan index”, you will see in red writing the choice to print the “complete plan” or “one goal at a time”. If you choose “one goal at a time” you can print just the objectives without the IHP form being included.
