Simplify your efforts in behavioral care-planning processes.

When you’re tackling behavioral issues in your care plan process, you can make the creation, implementation, and evaluation of that plan so much easier with a simple form. Try using this handy Behavior Monitoring Sheet with the code key, created by consulting firm T.R. – T.I.P.S., Inc. (www.trtips.com) in Council Bluffs, IA.

Note: Because different individuals can define behavior terms in many ways, when indicating a code also define the agitation, anxiety, etc. It is important to know what to observe for because various staff members can interpret these indicators differently.
