The development of a professional service industry has also in recent years increased considerably however, as observed by Mitchell (1998) purchasing teams appear to have made less effort to reduce costs by outsourcing services. Nonetheless the importance of service level agreements and supplier partnerships are growing in the global supply chain. A survey by Wade (2003) showed that 31 per cent of total procurement cost is for bought in services. 

Additionally, mental health is seen as a shared responsibility with all parties— teachers, advocates, therapists, and families— playing an important role. The social services team— the site coordinator, advocates, and therapists— meet once a week to discuss individual cases and to coordinate treatment plans. Advocates also meet every other week with teachers to call attention to particular students without revealing specifics about the case, in order to monitor behavioral disorders and include the teachers in their holistic approach to treatment. The social service team also provides professional development in-services to train teachers on specific mental health issues such as suicide training and abuse reporting. 

Any designated, trained (8-hour HAZWOPER supervisor course as a minimum), and experienced individual responsible for the safety of an employee (such as team leaders or crew leaders) may perform the function of an experienced person to provide the supervised field experience required by HAZWOPER [1]. Although having the appropriate certificates of completion would satisfy regulatory requirements, you should also consider time of service and experience. A fresh college graduate with training certificates and minimal field experience may be less desirable to perform supervised field experience than the safety professional with years of substantial field experience. 

Incident investigation involves varying levels of photographic expertise. For most minor incidents, the team or a company employee can adequately meet the photographic needs. Incidents that are more serious require an experienced individual, such as a forensic specialist, who systematically documents the scene, equipment involved, damage, evidence collection, and position data. For specialized photographic needs, the services of a professional commercial photographer or other specialists are necessary and are justified. Examples of such needs include ...

Hospital-Based Outpatient Clinics The Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) is the method for compensation for hospital-based outpatient facilities (DHHS, 2000a). With this system, there is a professional component (e.g., for physician providers) and a technical component (e.g., for nonphysician health care professionals) to billing that describes the various contributions of the health care team during the specific patient encounter. Ambulatory Payment Classification (APC) codes are used within this system to describe the type and complexity of the patient visit to the insurance company. When pharmacists provide services within a hospital-based clinic, the compensation for the service goes to the hospital facility instead of directly to the provider. The revenue generated should be able to be tracked internally as to which department or health care professional was involved in the care of the patient (Snella and Sachdev,...

The mental health coordinator may also serve as a consultant to agencies or designate a member of the administrative team to provide this function. Based on experience in Oklahoma City, the consultant should be someone other than direct line staff. The immediate responders deployed by the coordinator may include mobile crisis teams, case managers, professionals, and volunteers who have been preapproved. Red Cross Disaster Mental Health Services counselors monitor the level of stress among Red Cross workers and clients act to reduce high levels of stress prevent further serious short-and long-term emotional trauma and provide opportunities for healthy emotional responses (American Red Cross, 1995). A field coordinator may supervise the staff providing direct services to victims, and provide reports to the command coordinator. 

This discussion provides for a fundamental understanding of corrosion and corrosion processes. It also offers an overview of both metallic and non-metallic materials utilized in the construction of pharmaceutical equipment and some of the special considerations in their application. Suppliers of materials and fabrication services are valuable resources of information and should be included in the design process. Because corrosion processes are often complex, the services of corrosion engineering professionals should be considered in the original design or performance analysis activities as part of an in-house team, or on a consulting basis.

The patient is best managed in specialized centers with trained personnel and appropriate laboratory, radiologic, and pharmaceutical services.

In Canada, a two-year study done by a multivendor team of healthcare professionals for the province of Alberta similarly characterized the current Canadian healthcare system to be provider-centric as opposed to patientcentric and to depend on episodic and illness-oriented (as opposed to wellness-oriented) fragmented services provided by the individual provider in a facility with very little coordination. As in the United States, the outcomes are consequently measured from the financial perspective rather than the clinical efficacy perspective. In Canada the multivendor team of healthcare professionals recommended that the healthcare system make the transition to a patient-centric, outcome-driven, and wellness-oriented system that provides integrated continuum of services with close coordination among the providers and institutions. 

Professional social workers are not usually responsible for documenting the medication history. We cannot emphasize enough the importance of keeping careful records and documentation that supports the service a member of the interdisciplinary team provides. It is anticipated that the increased emphasis on effective treatment and outcome by managed care and regulatory organizations will require social workers and other mental health professionals to include specific medication-therapy information in counseling documentation. 

Social work professionals can provide important services to those who suffer from anxiety conditions including assessment and diagnostic and treatment services. They can also assist clients by creating an environment for improved communication and coordination between the client and other health care professionals. Social workers can also facilitate communication and services with other treatment team professionals and primary health care providers as well as mental health and community-based programs. In terms of direct intervention efforts, many of the techniques described in this chapter to assist with anxiety can also be used to help clients suffering from depression because the symptoms of anxiety and depression frequently overlap.
