Introducing an innovative, comprehensive approach for delivering more effective—and cost effective—behavioral health services … 

  • Improve the service delivery process
  • Fine-tune behavioral health care needs assessments
  • Match the level of care you provide to clients’ actual needs
  • Get better results for your entire client caseload

Get better clinical results for every budgeted dollar …

Integrate individual service planning with program and system management using Total Clinical Outcomes Management (TCOM)—and ensure a service strategy that delivers the best possible results for you and your clients. Practitioners who have put the TCOM system to work in real-world systems and programs show you how you can use TCOM to achieve improvements in service planning, supervision, program management, and systems management  …

  • Practical tools to help you improve the quality—and effectiveness—of your behavioral health services 
  • Proven strategies to make your behavioral health care agency or program work better  

You’ll get a host of case examples along with detailed guidance on how to identify and overcome the inevitable implementation barriers. Learn how TCOM can be put to work within and across your service systems … how it can be used effectively at the individual program level … how it is being used with special population groups … and how you can use TCOM principals to most effectively target your behavioral health care interventions.
