The behavioral flow sheet: a tool for the primary care provider

Article Abstract:

Behavioral flow sheets provide a cost effective, noninvasive mechanism for diagnosing and managing many behavioral and physical problems. To design and implement a flow sheet, define the target behavior, establish the flow-sheet format and type of data to be collected, and identify and teach the data collectors. The data should be reviewed regularly to identify patterns, triggers, and reinforcers. Then select appropriate interventions and use the flow sheet to monitor and evaluate their impact.
