Special-service providers

Depending on project structure, these services may be provided within a construction contract or alternatively by special-service providers (SSPs) independent of the construction contractors. What is important is their availability, that is, to be on call to carry out a survey or test and to produce the report without delay. At remote sites, which may be a long way from suitable laboratories, it may be advantageous for the project to provide accommodation for the SSPs to be based on site.

The entrepreneur will, based on these questions, initially assess which business functions are relevant for customers and revenue. If he thinks about the standard administrative functions, including the legal requirements such as financial and payroll accounting, he will not be able to find any way of setting himself apart from the competition in speed, flexibility, innovation, and earning power. It might make sense to outsource these tasks to a specialized service provider in this field. 

Suppliers under the supervision of the EPCM contractor furnish the necessary materiel for the project. The work on site will be carried out by construction contractors who are also under the supervision of the EPCM contractor. Special service providers may be engaged by the owner, by the EPCM contractor or by a construction contractor for duties such as surveying, civil site and laboratory testing, for carrying out destructive tests and nondestructive examination associated with welding or for the interpretation of results obtained from these activities.

Other patient care services provided by independent community pharmacies as a group are shown in Table 4. One of the strengths of the pharmacies in this group is the wide range of services provided. It should be noted that special knowledge is required to effectively deliver many of these services, and some areas such as herbal medicine have grown very dramatically. 

There are specific symptoms that family members, friends, coworkers and professionals can look for to help determine whether there are other problems besides drug use. Identifying other mental or physical health concerns can help a person advocate for specialized services for a client or his or her loved one, friend, or coworker in order to provide for the best care possible. However, identification of these signs or symptoms only warns there may be another problem — it does not tell you what the problem may be. If signs of other problems are noted, you should recommend a comprehensive evaluation by a professional trained in this type of assessment (e.g., a clinical psychologist, psychiatrist, or mental health professional with similar skills) if you do not feel ready to make that assessment yourself. That way you will know for sure what your client needs help with. 

Most books on addiction are written for only 10% of those who deal with addicted people — typically, for experts who specialize in addiction. By contrast, we designed the Wiley Series on Treating Addiction primarily for the other 90% — the many health service providers and family members who, though not addictionologists, regularly deal with those who suffer from various addictive disorders.
