Dosage Meter

The dosage meter tracks and displays the dosage clients accumulate from completing Carey Group Publishing tools and participating in other dosage-eligible activities.  Each client has a meter that displays on their “Manage Client Assignments” page and shows how much dosage they have obtained.  Additionally, you may enter non-Carey Group Publishing tool dosage that has been established by your Agency Administrator.

 

Carey Group Publishing Tool Dosage

Carey Group Publishing tools have a preset amount of dosage.  Clients receive the dosage after a tool has been completed and reviewed.  The preset dosage amount can be changed during the review process.  To change the amount of dosage a client receives when completing a tool do the following:

  • When a tool has been completed and is ready to be reviewed, click the “Review” button at the top of the tool being reviewed.
  • The “Tool Dosage Obtained” pop-up window will appear asking you to assign dosage to the tool.
  • The default dosage and dosage type will appear.
  • You may select a new dosage type from the drop-down menu:
    1. If your client completed the tool as an independent assignment, select Assignment.
    2. If your client completed the tool with you, select 1:1 Work.
    3. If your client completed the tool both independently and with you, select Both.
  •  Select the amount of time your client spent on the tool. You can select from increments of 5 minutes up to 60 minutes.
    1. If you selected “Both” for the dosage type, you will be able to select the amount of time your client spent in both areas.
    2. If you select an amount over the default dosage amount, a text box will appear asking for a reason for overriding the dosage default.
       

Other Dosage

  • You may enter dosage amounts for other dosage-eligible activities for your clients.   Other dosage-eligible activities are designated by your Agency Administrator.  If "Other Dosage" is not available in your agency, contact your Agency Administrator about setting it up.    

    To enter additional dosage:
    1. Within the “Manage Clients” page, locate the client you wish to add additional dosage for and click the “View & Manage” button.  
    2. On the client’s “Manage Client Assignments” page, click the “View and Manage Other Dosage” link.
    3. A popup window will appear.  
    4. If other dosage-eligible activities are not set up, a message will appear letting you know and to notify your Agency Administrator.
    5. If other dosage-eligible activities have been set up, click the “+ Add Additional Dosage” link and the additional dosage fields will display.
    6. Select the “Intervention Category” from the drop-down menu and the “Specific Intervention” will display.
    7. Select the “Specific Intervention” from the drop-down menu.
    8. Enter the “Dosage Hours Obtained.”
    9. The Criminogenic Needs that the dosage addresses were previously chosen by your Agency Administrator.  The previously chosen needs will already be selected.  You may select or deselect the Criminogenic Needs to reflect what the dosage is addressing for your client.
