The Desktop Consultant was developed in response to a clear need for managers and staff in physical medicine to have practical resources to assist in preparation for JCAHO survey, to assist in improving productivity through reduction in paperwork and to build confidence in their ability to meet and exceed current accreditation standards.

The manual is packed with policies, procedures, evaluation and treatment forms, educational needs assessments for staff, competency statements and evaluations, orientation tools and practical suggestions for improving documentation and compliance.

Many of these tools have been used by departments in our consulting practice that are in hospitals that have received commendation or in departments that have received no Type I recommendations related to physical medicine.
