Being required to conduct an SSPI and ISP every seven days for crisis intervention services is overall doing a disservice to our individuals.  Having to complete an SSPI each week and typically only getting to meet with an individual once a week will not be therapeutic for the client. The whole time for each session will be spent working on an SSPI. However, even if a clinician were to be able to conduct the SSPI and schedule the individual within the next seven calendar days, just to turn around and do another SSPI is illogical.   The static information is not going to ever change and the dynamic information in a seven day period is not likely to change as well. The time, effort, transportation, and documentation time involved is ridiculous. The service provider and/or agency is not able to bill for each SSPI, therefore is losing money. The individual will most likely become frustrated and not want to continue brief therapy and may become at higher risk for hospitalization. I have individuals now that get frustrated doing them once a year because of the re-traumatization, much less every seven days.
