Okla. Admin. Code § 450:18-7-21

Current through Vol. 42, No. 8, January 2, 2025

Section 450:18-7-21 - Clinical record content, screening and assessment

(a) All facilities shall complete a face-to-face screening with each individual to determine appropriateness of further assessment.

(b) The facility shall maintain written screening policies and procedures that, at a minimum include:

(1) how the screening is to be conducted;

(2) that the screening conducted is an integrated screening to identify both immediate and ongoing needs, which includes screening for whether the consumer is a risk to self or others, including suicide risk factors; and

(3) how the consumer is assisted with admission for services, and/or with accessing other appropriate services.

(c) All facilities shall assess each consumer for appropriateness of admission to the treatment program. Each presenting consumer for substance use disorder treatment shall be assessed to determine a clinically appropriate placement in the least restrictive level of care. Facilities must ensure that a consumer's refusal of a particular service does not preclude the consumer from accessing other needed mental health or substance-related or addictive disorder treatment services. Should the service provider determine the consumer's needs cannot be met within the facility, clinical assessments and referrals for the consumer shall be documented.

(d) Any consumer seeking admission to inpatient or residential services, including medically-supervised withdrawal management, while under the influence or undergoing withdrawal of alcohol or drugs, shall be assessed prior to admission for medical needs. The written criteria to be used for medical needs assessment of persons under the influence or undergoing withdrawal of alcohol or drugs, and the protocols for determining when physician review of the assessment is needed, shall be approved by the facility's consulting physician.

(e) Compliance with 450:18-7-21 may be determined by a review of the following:

(1) Policies and procedures;

(2) Intake protocols;

(3) assessment instruments;

(4) Treatment records;

(5) Interviews with staff and consumers; and

(6) Other facility documentation.
