Integration question:
Policy/macro: What are the time frames needed for developing a treatment planning your agency from the time that the client enters your program. Who dictates that policy?
From what I have learned while being at Carter, there is no set time that the treatment plan has to be done. Each member of the treatment team has a different time frame for completing their part. For example, the social workers are required to have the psychosocial evaluation done within a week of the patient's admit date. However, it often isn't completed in time because it can be hard to get accurate information in a week.
With Carter, treatment planning is an ongoing process. Even though there might be a preliminary plan that gets completed, the plan is updated and changed frequently. Treatment is an ongoing process at Carter and can change greatly due to the nature of the patient's mental illness.
The policy is dictated in part by DMHA (Department of Mental Health and Addictions) and mostly by the Clinical Director. However, each department, (i.e. psychiatry, social work, nursing) has a different time frame depending on what needs to be accomplished.
Total Hours this week (including 2 seminar hours): 17 hrs and 30 min
Total Hours to date: 148 hrs and 40 min
