Organizational and facility resources are available to promote improved access and delivery of patient care activities:

Automated Psychological Testing Centers

In addition to the assessment services provided via the Centralized Testing Center, on-line administration and scoring of numerous self-report inventories and questionnaires is available to Staff Psychologists via the Mental Health package. The Mental Health Package gives Staff Psychologists access to a range of individual and group psychological tests, allowing on-site administration to patients in various areas of the facility, including the Mental Health Clinic, Substance Abuse Treatment Program, Stress Treatment Program, Center for Sexual Trauma Services, Primary Care Clinics, and Geriatrics and Extended Care Clinics. Not only is computerized scoring of more than 40 tests available but this innovative system also allows computer terminals to be used for test administration. Test scores and, for some tests, interpretive data are available immediately.

Library Resources

There are separate libraries for consumer health/patient education (Patient Education Resource Center) and for clinical professional needs (Medical Library). The Medical Library collection consists of over 400 current subscriptions and approximately 5,000 books and audiovisual titles. Books and audiovisuals are available for a two-week checkout period; journals are for in-house use only. There are also personal computers equipped with Microsoft Office products and the Internet. Internet use is restricted to job-related activities. Computer-based literature search capability is available. The Library has established a section containing materials on empirically supported psychological treatments. The Library offers assistance with reference requests, library instruction, and interlibrary loans. The interlibrary loans are limited to non-charging sources.
