Section 3 Specific Concerns
 

Section: 3.1.2 Other Clinical Assessments to Support Measurement Based Care

  • Are the assessments listed in this section optional?  What is the expectation behind the “strongly encouraged” wording in the first sentence?

Section: 3.3.2 Service Delivery specific to Adults

  • The first sentence indicates all adult service agencies must meet the state requirements for training in Adult Mental Health Rehabilitative Supports and Services.  The next sentence indicates all professional types must complete….  Does this mean that all professional types providing CPST must meet the requirements or does this mean that all professional types within the agency providing CPST must meet the requirements?  Many agencies provide services outside of the CPST so clarification on the agency level expectations are needed.

Section: 3.3.3 Service Delivery-Transitional Age Youth

  • If you are an adult only provider of CPST, serving only individuals over the age of 18, does the sentence requiring that providers complete all the adult and youth trainings indicated above apply?  If so, would that same requirement apply for adult providers who limit their services to only individuals over the age of 25?

Section: 3.4 Required Documentation

  • Recommend switching to requiring proof of compliance with training requirements to be provided at audit.  This would avoid an increase in administrative burden and allow the provision of the most up-to-date compliance information versus limiting to just annual.  This is an administrative burden that provides no direct value to the individuals served.
