12VAC35-106-20 Definitions
 

Could there be one section just for definitions that could be used for chapters 106, 107, and 108?

 

Case management service or support coordination service - means services that can include assistance to individuals and their family members in accessing needed services that are responsive to the individual's needs and desires. - Responsive to needs, yes, but desires seems broad, suggest changing to preferences

 

Crisis Stabilization - Please ensure definitions are consistent with forthcoming changes related to Project Bravo.

 

Serious Incident - Thank you for the inclusion of WRAP.  This is an important, but limiting addition; there are other applicable, relevant concepts, such as Psychiatric Advance Directives.  More importantly, clearly stating that voluntary psychiatric hospitalizations are planned hospitalizations will decrease confusion and demonstrate a recognition that, unlike surgical procedures, psychiatric inpatient care is not scheduled days or weeks in advance.

 

Serious Incident - Level III, item 3.  Remove to reflect the change made in 2020.
