(A) The purpose of this rule is to ensure
that each
agency
provider collects data on consumer outcomes in order
to improve its ability to provide quality mental health
and addiction services.
(B) The following definition applies to this
rule:
"Consumer outcomes" means indicators of health or well-being
for an individual or family as measured by statements or observed
characteristics of the consumer/
or family, not characteristics of the system. These
measures provide an overall status measure with which to better understand the
life situation of a consumer or family.
(C) Each
agency
provider shall
use a system to measure consumer outcomes for children, youth and adults.
(1) Data to be collected shall include:
(a) Whether treatment plan goals were met;
and
(b) Satisfaction with
services.
(2) The
frequency of data collection shall be:
(a)
Beginning of services;
(b) End of
services; and
(c) At intervals as
defined in agency polices.
The agency
provider shall include attention to client
population and needs in determining the appropriate intervals at which to
collect data. The agency
provider may describe different intervals based
on varying population characteristics.
(D) An agency may, but is not
required to, utilize the Ohio mental health consumer outcomes system as a
method of measuring consumer outcomes. Additional information may be found in
the "consumer outcomes procedural manual" which is located at
http://mentalhealth.ohio.gov/assets/consumer-outcomes/instruments/procedural-manual.pdf.
(D)
A service provider may determine when to clinically or
administratively discharge a client from provider services, if ever. However,
for the purposes of required reporting in accordance with section
5119.61 of the Revised Code, a
service provider shall report data if requested by the
department.
