Psychological and Behavioral Programs

 

 

 

    Our goal in treating a resident with an acute problem is to improve their health and functional ability.  When treating the resident our main focus is to initially stabilize and/or maintain the level of health of the resident and then assist the resident in achieving their highest possible level of function and well being.

  

    If treatment is determined to not be medically necessary, or if the problems exhibited would be better treated by another discipline, we will refer the resident back to your facilities' behavioral intervention program with suggestions and recommendations for care planning.  The efficacy of the care provided, whether by Paradigm or another provider is always our priority.

  

 

Facilities that have advertised Paradigm's Behavioral Health Programs have been successful in reaching out to the community, giving the facility a competitive advantage in a very competitive marketplace.

     

 

     Our programs meet all State and Federal guidelines and are fully HIPAA compliant.  Documentation is designed to meet or exceed all requirements set forth by Medicare and the State Professional Licensing Board.  We also meet all standards set forth by HEDIS, URAC and NCOA, the external accreditation agencies for managed care organizations.

   

Paradigm will only see residents who are referred to their program. 

    We will only see individuals who are referred to us by your facility's representative.  Paradigm is bound by Medicare's guidelines related to the process of referral for evaluation and treatment.  Paradigm will not treat an individual without a valid physician order and consent.

 

     Our multidisciplinary team includes Psychiatrists, Clinical Nurse Specialists/Nurse Practitioners, Psychologists, and Licensed Clinical Social Workers.  They are supported by a team of professionals whose primary concern is the delivery of high quality healthcare in a professional and ethical manner.
