The requirement to do an SSPI and ISP every 7 calendar days for crisis intervention is unbelievable. This will not allow the clinical work regarding the crisis to every get addressed due to the time to do these other paperwork tasks. Crisis intervention requires immediate interventions for the issue at hand. If I were the individual coming for services, I would not participate in a long psychosocial history and ISP development for several hours and never get a real chance or time to address the real reason I presented....my crisis....it would throw me into a bigger crisis. Magellan's constant requirements for more and more paperwork, in all areas, are leading to less treatment time with the client; the time that is left for treatment is resulting in diminished quality of care. As a taxpayer and a provider, this concerns me for the individuals were are charged with taking care of in a quality, therapeutic way. The community as a whole should be concerned too due to safety issues if we are not allowed to address behavioral health crisis in a timely, therapeutic manner due to mundane bureaucracy.
