This course presents strategies related to setting measurable goals, completing documentation, and increasing efficiency to help make your work more manageable and productive while increasing successful client outcomes.

Course Objectives:

•        Describe at least three strategies to work “smarter” for increasing productivity, efficiency, and successful client outcomes.

•        Discuss at least three benefits of using the SMART goal format when writing goals.
