health practitioner, or recognized psychotherapy practitioner, shall develop an
initial treatment plan upon completion of the comprehensive assessment required
under s.
DHS 35.17(1)
(b). The treatment plan shall be based upon
the diagnosis and symptoms of the consumer and describe all of the following:
1. The consumer's strengths and how they will
be used to develop the methods and expected measurable outcomes that will be
accomplished.
2. The method to
reduce or eliminate the symptoms causing the consumer's problems or inability
to function in day to day living, and to increase the consumer's ability to
function as independently as possible.
3. For a child or adolescent, a consideration
of the child's or adolescent's development needs as well as the demands of the
illness.
4. The schedules,
frequency, and nature of services recommended to support the achievement of the
consumer's recovery goals, irrespective of the availability of services and
funding.
Note: Nothing in this chapter is intended to interfere with the right of providers under s. 51.61(6), Stats., to use customary and usual treatment techniques and procedures in a reasonable and appropriate manner in the treatment of patients who are receiving services under the mental health system, for the purpose of ameliorating the conditions for which the patients were admitted to the system.
(b) The
treatment plan shall reflect the current needs and goals of the consumer as
indicated by progress notes and by reviewing and updating the assessment as
necessary.
(2) APPROVAL
OF THE TREATMENT PLAN. As treatment services are rendered, the consumer or the
consumer's legal representative must approve and sign the treatment plan and
agree with staff on a course of treatment. If the consumer does not approve of
the schedules, frequency, and nature of the services recommended, then
appropriate notations regarding the consumer's refusal shall be made in the
consumer file. The treatment plan under this subsection shall include a written
statement immediately preceding the consumer's or legal representative's
signature that the consumer or legal representative had an opportunity to be
informed of the services in the treatment plan, and to participate in the
planning of treatment or care, as required by s.
51.61(1) (fm),
Stats.
(3) CLINICAL REVIEW OF THE
TREATMENT PLAN.
(a) Staff shall establish a
process for a clinical review of the consumer's treatment plan and progress
toward measurable outcomes. The review shall include the participation of the
consumer and be an ongoing process. The results of each clinical review shall
be clearly documented in the consumer file. Documentation shall address all of
the following:
1. The degree to which the
goals of treatment have been met.
2. Any significant changes suggested or
required in the treatment plan.
3.
Whether any additional assessment or evaluation is recommended as a result of
information received or observations made during the course of
treatment.
4. The consumer's
assessment of functional improvement toward meeting treatment goals and
suggestions for modification.
(b) A mental health professional shall
conduct a clinical review of the treatment plan with the consumer as described
in par. (a) at least every 90 days or 6 treatment sessions, whichever covers a
longer period of time.
(4) The clinic shall develop and implement
written policies and procedures for referring consumers to other community
service providers for services that the clinic does not or is unable to provide
to meet the consumer's needs as identified in the comprehensive assessment
required under s.
DHS 35.17(1)
(b). The policies shall identify community
services providers to which the clinic reasonably determines it will be able to
refer consumers for services the clinic does not or cannot provide.
