Jason Laws, MSW, Business Development Consultant at Therap Services, states: "Therap is growing rapidly in Georgia as we now have nearly 50 agencies utilizing our system across the state in all six regions. Agencies are using Therap to track the full gamut of services including CRA, CLS, CA-I, CA-G, and many others. This conference is an excellent opportunity for both support professionals and administrators to receive in-depth instruction on the use of Therap as well as to network with our many users in Georgia. There will also be sessions dedicated to our state specific features including the Georgia Critical Incident Report (which is now integrated into Therap) and our electronic billing system for Georgia users."

Therap's electronic documentation solutions helps providers meet the federal definition of Person Centered Planning through a variety of modules including the Personal Focus Worksheet, Individual Support Plan, ISP Agenda and ISP Data to track goals and personal outcome measures. Sessions will be devoted to these modules at the conference to provide greater detail for how an agency can effectively and efficiently meet federal and state standards through use of Therap's software solution.

Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities lead active lives and may receive supports in the home, community, work or recreational environments; data within Therap's web based system is accessible across these service environments and therefore Therap is ideal as a portable documentation solution. Only persons with appropriate authorization are able to login to the secure documentation system, ensuring protected health information is kept in compliance with HIPAA. This translates into providing individuals and agency staff the confidence that protected health information is private and viewable only by those granted access.
