1) How do I order TheraScribe® 5.0?

To receive a price quote or to order TheraScribe® 4.0 please contact our TheraScribe® experts toll free at 1-866-203-4309.

Our TheraScribe experts will be happy to discuss with you your organization's individual needs and help you choose the software that best fits your requirements.

The Demo version allows you to get a feel for the look and operation of TheraScribe 4.0. Besides being unable to print treatment plans, you cannot import additional treatment planners nor can you use a database created by the Demo in the full version of the software. Thus, DO NOT use the Demo to create any mission critical records that you must have when you upgrade to the full version.

3) I have the Enterprise version of TheraScribe 5.0 installed using the SQL engine from the application CD. When I run the program, I get the error, "There is an error connecting to the database." What do I do now?

To ensure successful database access on the server, the following points should be noted:

1. The SA (System Administrator) password for the database during the server configuration should be left blank.
2. Choose a local drive for the TheraScribe database file , not a mapped network drive.
3. Before you run TheraScribe 5.0 Enterprise, make sure the SQL Engine on the taskbar is running. If it is not running, right-click it and click MSDTC-START. 

After doing the above, if still you get an error message that there is an error connecting to the database, click the option button to edit the database configuration.

1. In DATA LINK PROPERTIES, make sure the MICROSOFT OLE DB PROVIDER FOR SQL SERVER is selected under the PROVIDER tab.
2. Under the connection tab, type the computer name of the server on which the SQL database was installed.
3. Check the option box for USE WINDOWS NT INTEGRATED SECURITY
4. Under select the database on the server, make sure THERASCRIBE is showing. You can now click TEST CONNECTION to see if it is OK. If not, go back and ensure the above points are correctly followed.
5. If the connection is successful, click OK and connect to the database on the server.

Registered users of TheraScribe® 3.5 can upgrade to 5.0. Call 1-866-203-4309 for details.

5) I am running TheraScribe 5.0 solo edition. I recently upgraded to Windows XP PRO. Now, when I try to run TheraScribe, I get the following error:
Error: The procedure entry point Getiums@4 could not be located in dynamic link library MSDART.DLL. What do I do?

This issue is related to Microsoft's data access libraries (MDAC). The recommended solution is to download the latest version and install it from:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6c050fe3-c795-4b7d-b037-185d0506396c&DisplayLang=en

(Make sure to copy and paste the entire link into your browser's address bar. Also restart your system after applying this update. This update will remove the error you have been getting.)

Another way to obtain the update is to simply navigate to the Microsoft website and click on the "Downloads" link.
In the search window type "MDAC." Under the results, select the MDAC 2.8 driver and download and install the file accordingly.

6) Does TheraScribe® 5.0 meet the needs of managed care?

Yes. The treatment plans and progress notes generated by TheraScribe 5.0 meet the requirements of JCAHO and most third-party payers. A sample treatment plan can be downloaded and shared with the third-party payers and Managed Care Organizations with whom they work in order to obtain pre-approval. In addition to authorized sessions and patient progress, TheraScribe 5.0 tracks outcome data, which is increasingly required by Managed Care organizations. Treatment outcomes can be analyzed by diagnosis, presenting problem, provider, patient demographics, and time frame. Outcome results can be displayed in chart format or as 3-D graphs.

7) How do I exchange and synchronize data between TheraScribe 5.0 and Therapist Helper?

You need to use the TheraSync utility. For information on exchanging and synchronizing data between TheraScribe 5.0 and Therapist Helper, please download and read the word file here.

8 Can I make changes in reports that would affect all customers?

Users with Administrator-level security may create customized clinical or administrative reports by adapting the built-in reports, or by using the "Report Wizard" functions, which are described in more detail in the User's Guide and in online help in TheraScribe. (See Using Custom Report Wizards.) Although the Report Wizards can help, creating reports from sophisticated database applications like TheraScribe® 5.0 can be quite challenging. If you are a novice computer user, we urge you to leave the report customization function aside until you gain complete familiarity with TheraScribe. You may then follow the instructions in this section to add or delete fields from the standard clinical report sections, or to paste in your practice's logo at the top of the report.

9) While attempting to use TheraScribe 5.0 SQL Edition, I keep getting an error stating "RBuilder.ini has encountered a problem, The application needs to shut down" and then I am unable to run the program. What should I do?

In this case, you need to install a fresh copy of the RBuilder.ini file. Contact Technical Support and a representative will be happy to assist you with restoring this file on your system. Once this is done, the software will launch without any problems.

No, the Adult Progress Notes Planner is used in conjunction with the Second Edition of the Adult Treatment Planner.

11) Can a progress notes planner be purchased without having the corresponding treatment planner?

No, you must have the latest edition of the Adolescent, Adult, and/or Child Treatment Planner in order for the corresponding progress notes planner to work.

12) Are there add-on modules for TheraScribe® 5.0?

Yes, you can purchase CDs for treatment planners, homework planners, and progress notes planners. You can download the demo or call 1-866-203-4309 for a demo to see the new add-on modules.

13) Can I undo a deletion from one of the TheraScribe libraries?

No, you cannot bring back any library text that has been deleted without re-installing the library. We recommend editing a specific note, intervention, etc., as opposed to deleting it.

14) Does TheraScribe® 5.0 include the Biopsychosocial History Form?

Yes, on the main screen of TheraScribe® 4.0, there is a link to the Biopsychosocial History Form, which resides on the TheraScribe web site.

16) I cannot find any of the generic drugs I prescribe in your Medications Prescribed list.

To add new medications prescribed by the primary clinician or a treating physician, press the Add button to the right of the Medications Prescribed display field.

17) How do I edit libraries for a particular patient? How do I edit libraries for the entire patient database?

The Edit Libraries tab allows users with Administrator-level or Advanced-level security to permanently change the contents of the library menus by editing, adding, or deleting options from the libraries. The Planner Libraries subtab allows users to enter custom treatment planner and progress note planner options, delete or edit built-in options, and add or change links between objectives and interventions. The Other Libraries subtab allows users to edit the contents of libraries not related to the add-on Practice Planner library modules.
