Description: The Computerization of Behavioral Healthcare offers comprehensive advice and practical guidelines on computerization that will fundamentally change the clinical practice, management, and communications of behavioral healthcare. This essential resource is written in easy-to-understand language by experts in the field of clinical practice, healthcare administration, technological change, and public policy.

The authors demonstrate, in nontechnical terms, how computers are networked and how interactive information systems help to contain costs. They also present a framework to measure and improve clinical outcomes and to make any behavioral healthcare organization or practice more competitive in the marketplace.
