Introduction

This module will focus on the use of the Check In/Check Out questionnaires in a clinical supervision to develop engagement techniques, improve information gathering skills and help providers to apply solution focused approaches to the client’s presenting problems. Special focus will be placed on helping the therapist to reduce resistance using the questionnaires as well as helping providers to become more comfortable in the use of targeted or episodic care.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand and break provider resistance to TxF questionnaires
  • Evaluate provider process and growth
  • Identification of client factors vs. provider factors
  • Use of subject knowledge to oversee clinical decisions
  • Data and targeted treatment
  • Use of the feedback cycle with TxF questionnaire data

How to Prepare for Supervision

  • Pull your treat first data from BHSD Star. If you capture TxF data in your electronic health record you will want to pull that data as well.
  • Identification of trends – review data, look at al the scores. Specifically focus on scores lower than 5, scores that have not moved up in percentage points and scores that are all 10s.
  • Talk with your providers about these identified trends and determine if it is a valid score or a misrepresentation of the session.
  • Remember that the TxF data can provide immediate in-session feedback. Be sure you ask your provider if any feedback was given or if scores were addressed in the session/appointment.
  • Was quality care provided? Did the client feel heard? Was the client’s goal shifted in the appropriate direction? Was the problem resolved?

TxF Questionnaires

  • TxF questionnaires provide a therapeutic snap shot of the targeted care we are providing. Allowing us to know if we are adhering to the model and providing the appropriate support the client needs.​
  •  You want to ensure your staff are engaging in constructive dialogue regarding TxF questionnaires response. ​
  • The questionnaires allow you to identify challenges in adherence to the model. It allows you to work through provider resistance, you and how they increase the providers ability to adhere to the model and expected outcomes​
  • Client voice and use of the questionnaires to promote confidence in client centered decision making ​

 

Effective Feedback Cycle

  • The feedback cycle and reciprocal relationships- role play in supervision how your provider can use the questionnaires, accept feedback and make repair with the client. ​
  • This is a great tool to support the client and provider in learning how to accept feedback, respond in a positive manner and ensure that any issues that were discovered can be resolved. Hence, the client develops skills in reciprocal relationships and confidence in expressing their feelings, concerns and needs.
