HERDMAN ASSESSMENT FORM (HAF): Free Assessment narratives extended until the end of September. HerdmanHealth is looking for 10-20 treatment centers, outpatient agencies/clinics or individual providers to test drive the Herdman Assessment Form (HAF). The HAF is a cloud-based bio-psycho-social history form that uses artificial intelligence to create a comprehensive professional history report for new patients. The HAF is appropriate for any assessment process that requires pertinent history of a patient; for example, drug and alcohol assessments, mental health diagnostic interviews, and psychological evaluations. The counselor is still responsible to make the diagnosis, summarize findings and make appropriate recommendations. Save time and money. Test drive the HAF for free until the end of September. To register, go to https://service.hafnow.com or visit www.herdmanhealth.com. Thank you. Dr. John Herdman (johnh@herdmanhealth.com). Please share this with your colleagues.
