Section 17b-262-811 - Individual plan of care requirements(a) PRTF services for clients shall involve active treatment, as documented in the professionally developed and supervised individual plan of care.(b) A physician shall: (1) assume professional responsibility for the services provided under the plan of care;(2) assure that the services are medically appropriate;(3) certify in writing that the services provided are necessary in the setting in which they will be provided; and(4) be readily available in person or by phone but not necessarily on the premises.(c) Not later than seven days after admission, the interdisciplinary team shall establish a written plan of care for each client, designed to achieve the client's discharge from the PRTF at the earliest possible time. This plan shall: (1) be based on a diagnostic evaluation that includes examinations of the medical, psychological, social, behavioral and developmental aspects of the client's situation and thereby reflect the need for PRTF services;(2) be developed by the interdisciplinary team of professionals in consultation with the client and his or her parents, legal guardian, or others into whose care he or she will be released after discharge;(3) state the treatment objectives;(4) prescribe an integrated program of therapies, activities and experiences designed to meet the treatment objectives;(5) include, at an appropriate time, post-discharge plans and coordination of PRTF services with partial discharge plans and related community services to ensure continuity of care with the client's family, school and community upon discharge; and(6) be a recorded document which is maintained in the client's medical record.(d) The individual plan of care shall be reviewed every thirty days by the interdisciplinary team, starting on the date of admission. The purpose of the review is to determine whether services being provided are currently required, or were required on an inpatient basis, and to recommend any changes to the plan that are indicated by the client's overall progress towards the treatment goals.Conn.
