Introduction

This article is meant to assist you with how to use the Treatment tab. The Treatment tab is a place where you can track the education, social, medical, etc. goals of child. You can track the objective, the progress, the time frame, and the interventions that need to be taken to achieve the goal. You may use field codes to pull information from the Treatment tab into other reports or custom forms

If you have any questions that are not addressed here, please contact support at support@extendedreach.com. 

 

Enabling the Treatment Tab

If the Treatment tab is not set up for your program, an agency administrator can enable the tracking under Program Settings > Programs > Select the program > Setup > Enable "Treatment: Track treatment goals".

Treatment Tab Configuration

Once enabled, go to Organization Settings > Organization Preferences > Settings > Show Advanced Settings. Here, you can add custom goal categories, statuses, and field labels. You can also add additional fields to the Treatment Tab view such as the person responsible, the problem, and can enable sub goals (separate goals to be achieved within the main goal).

If custom goal categories, statuses, and types are enabled, those will be customizable under the Keywords > Other tab.

Adding a Treatment Goal

The Treatment Tab will appear on the Case screen. From there, you will see an at-a-glance view of all of the goals. To see only active goals, click on "Show Active Only". 

 

To add a new goal, there are two options to choose from: 

1. Manually add a new goal - create a specialized goal for the case

2. Copy a goal from another case - copy a goal that has been created for another case, this will copy all the goal information over

 

To manually add a new goal, click on "Add Treatment Goal". From there, you will be re-directed to the New Treatment Goal screen. Below is the default treatment goal view - remember that you can add more fields and customize the field labels under Organization Settings.
