1st Quarter Review: Let’s Spring into the New Year!!

The P.A.T. Center has been very busy preparing for 2018! We have new referrals coming in from schools, courts, and PCPs and our staff has expanded to accommodate this great demand. Three new staff members were added to the PAT family, Cassandra Moore, MHPP, Anthony Brown, MHPP and Dr. Donna Brown, MD. Also during the first quarter, Leadership and Clinical staff has attended RSPMI webinars, Beacon Health trainings, webinars and Medicaid Stakeholder meetings to become familiar with and stay informed of any changes implemented. Our Clinical Director, Mrs. Johnson has attended job and internship fairs to scout qualified and upcoming social work grads for future employment. Mrs. Johnson also traveled to Baltimore, Maryland in March 2018, to the yearly Credible Conference. During this conference she attended trainings on: Billing, Data Entry, Records Retention, etc. The PHQ-9 form was added to Credible as well, which is completed w/Intakes, TPRs and Discharges. A Retrospective Audit was conducted this quarter. The agency passed with flying colors. Congrats were given to Mr. Mooney, Ms. Simmons, Mrs. Edgerson, Mrs. Culclager, Ms. Floyd and Mr. Jones for their hard work as their charts were audited in this review. Special thanks to office staff as well as they check notes, TPRs, referral and billing, which helps ensure charts are compliant!

4th Quarter Review

2017 is coming to an end! We have achieved many goals this year. From hiring new staff to accommodate the clientele growth, purchasing property to increase office spaces, partnering with the court system for new referrals and receiving recertification to continue providing services to the our clients and the community. The new PASSE changes went into effect October 2017 and are evolving daily. The PAT Center Leadership team has been attending meetings and trainings to obtain information needed to ensure our agency is compliant and remains abreast as Medicaid improves to better serve its clients and providers.

We look forward to a great year in 2018!!!!

3rd Quarter Review

School has resumed and we’re excited to be back. Our schoolbased programs are in full effect!! Although we didn’t have a Therapeutic Summer Program this year, we did implement summer group sessions that were held at the office. During some of the sessions, MHPs and MHPPs worked with clients on coping skills to implement during conflicts at home, school, etc.

1st Quarter Review

The P.A.T. Center has been busy this quarter making sure that we provide the BEST services possible to our clients and their families and to make the environment a GREAT one for our employees as well! In the latter part of February and early March, PB & LR Employees were given information on the 401K plans and its benefits offered through The P.A.T. Center. Many employees shared their experiences with those who have not acquired the benefits to provide feedback and perks. Many have considered joining and will be joining soon! [/one_half] [one_half_last] The 1st of March, Ms. Johnson, PAT Center Clinical Director, represented and attended the 10th Year Anniversary Credible Conference held Mar 6-10, 2017 in Baltimore, Maryland. (See page 2 for details). The networking continues… The P.A.T. Center was a part of the UALR School of Social Work Career Fair at the Jack Stephens Center on March 7, 2017. This allowed agencies to get to know students interested in internships and job placements. Light refreshments were served to attendees. Mid March, some of the P.A.T. Center staff attended the National Association of Social Workers Conference, March 29-31, 2017. Advisory Board and PI/QA Meetings were held this quarter as well. [/one_half_last]
