Innovations
Dr. cooper and Dr. Shack during the last twelve years have developed a unique approach to psychiatric charting. This communication tool which is used by all of the MD's and APRN's makes data management and communication from our psychiatric team to the nursing staff extremely informative and comprehensive. The facilities love it because it is easy to follow and allows them to stay one step ahead of state requirements. Our psychiatric charting is also well received by the Department of Public Health.
