CILe - Client Information Ledger
Individualized Treatment Plans (ITP)

Does CILe help me with therapeutic Treatment Plans?

Yes. CILe will help you develop your treatment plan by giving you boilerplate plans based on therapeutic symptom, or lets you develop your own.


To help you determine which clients need ITPs to be done, click the "ITP Reviews Due" off of the Therapy menu, which displays a complete listing of all of your open clients. If no ITP has been done, the "due date" will be blank, otherwise, a due date will be shows.


Then, to do the initial Treatment Plan, click "ITP" off of the client pop-up menu. If you are doing a review, click the "ITP Review" button, and a screen for entering brief updates is displayed. The initial ITP screens are displayed below.

Fill in the problem with enough detail to justify the plan. Then document the client's strength which will be used to draw on to support the client's success.

Then, click the "Select Diagnosis" button. When the diagnosis you want to associate with this treatment plan is displayed on your monitor, then you just need to "X" out of the diagnosis and the ITP screen will "grab" it for use when the ITP is printed. Then, click the "Goals/Objectives" button to complete the ITP. The screen follows, with explanations.

Once you have finished the Goals and Objectives and have selected the diagnosis, click the "Print" button to format and display a printable report.

Click on a field below to jump to the explanation of that field. Click the arrow to return to this screen.

The following is a brief description of what the Fiscal menu provides:

1) Individualized Treatment Plan screen Allows you to document your plans for treatment with this client in a format for printing. Gives you a template for copying verbiage for the goals and objectives, tailored to specific symptoms.
2) Treatment Planner Displays a screen with boilerplate treatment goals and objectives for cutting-and-pasting into your treatment plan screen. For a screenshot with an example, click here. You select the diagnostic symptom from the pull-down menu, and a series of possible objectives and goals is displayed in the text boxes. Use the navigation arrows to scroll through the possible examples. You block the text with your mouse, and "copy" (CNTL-C) the blocked text, and then go back to your Treatment Plan screen, put your cursor in the appropriate text box, and "paste" (CNTL-V) the text. You can then edit it if desired to finalize the verbiage.
3) Goal Status Defaults to "Active," but when your client has completed this goal, change it to "Achieved," or if the goal no longer applies, you can change it to "Cancelled." Only goals that are "Active" will be printed on the printable report format.
4) Target Date Provide the date that you hope to achieve this goal.
5) Goal Number Put any value here that you want printed on your ITP report. The Goal Number needs to be visually logical as compared to the Objective Number. Possibilities are to use numbers for the Goals and alpha characters for the Objectives. You have total control of both values.
6) Goal The text of the goal to be accomplished through therapeutic intervention.
7) Objective Number Put any value here that distinguishes one Objective from another on the printed report. See the description for Goal Number for more information.
8) Objective The text of the objective that support accomplishment of the goal. The objective should be a quantifiable task so that accomplishment can be positively determined.
9) Objective Navigation buttons (Item B above) Lets you move between objectives. The box to the right with the orange star is to add a new objective, giving you blank text boxes ready for input.
10) Intervention Details of exactly how you plan on working with the client to accomplish the objectives, leading to accomplishment of the goal.
11) Goal Navigation buttons (Item A above) Lets you move between goals. The box to the right with the orange star is to add a new goal, giving you blank text boxes ready for input.
