STAGE-WISE TREATMENT, 8 PAGES
This booklet features an 8-page document that contains a Stage-Wise Treatment Table on three panels, which is designed as an at-a-glance overview of clinical philosophies and practices of IDDT.
This is an ideal tool for educating, training, and building
consensus for integrated treatment among multiple audiences within your
organization and throughout your community.
The Stage-Wise Treatment Table is designed to be used with the Clinical Guide booklet and as a separate clinical tool for service teams. In fact, this document is actually the cover of the booklet, but we have printed it separately to provide you with a lightweight resource. Order some copies for your team members. Also use it to inform, educate,
and build consensus among collaborators and stakeholders.
