1 Collaborative Documentation on Daily Living Activities Regardless of Age Katherine Hirsch and Annie Jensen MTM Services 0 Learning Objectives Participants will be able to identify the benefits of the collaborative documentation process from three perspectives: Improvement in Quality of life for direct care and support staff Compliance with documentation submission standards within each agency Enhanced therapeutic alliance with clients and recovery focused service documentation with all documentation that is completed with clients including the DLA-20 Participants will understand the function of the DLA-20, and how it is used to identify a clients strengths and functional needs in relation to their Daily Living Activities. Participants will understand how the DLA-20 is used to identify clients function throughout treatment and to collaborate with the client throughout the process of the assessment, the treatment plan and progress notes to maintain a client centered approach which continues to assess improvements in functioning. 1 1
2 Medical Necessity 3 essential components to establish medical necessity: 1.Diagnosis of a mental, behavioral, or emotional disorder Serious mental illness (SMI), severe & persistent mental illness (SPMI), serious emotional disturbance (SED), or alcohol/drug dependence See American Psychiatric Association (APA) DSM- IV for diagnostic criteria 2.Disorder has been diagnosed in the past year 3.Disorder results in functional impairment which substantially interferes with or limits one or more daily life activities 2 Using the Daily Living Activities Scale to establish Medical Necessity This means that functional impairment(s) in daily living activities must be present in clinical documentation in order to establish medical necessity. Providers & clients collaborate on 20 ADLs in one tool and cross cut symptoms/diagnoses with anchors, to demonstrate functional impairments in daily living. 3 2
3 Daily Living Activities Functional Assessment 4 The DLA-20 is a 10 minute, one page summary functional assessment Designed to be an objective tool for use by trained directcare staff Proven to be reliable and valid (No more guessing a number within a range of functioning) 20 specific daily living activities that are assessed Level of impairment for each type of activity is rated on a seven-point scale (1 through 7) Lower numbers indicate more severe impairment A 7 indicates complete absence of impairment for that activity Designed to assess what activities of daily living are strengths and what are the areas of need Tool quickly identifies where client outcomes are needed so clinicians can address those functional deficits on individualized service plans. For each client, one DLA sheet can be used five times to track progress across repeated assessments (recommended: every 3 to 6 months) 20 Areas Scored on the DLA-20 Health Practices Housing Stability Communication Safety Managing Time Managing Money Nutrition Problem Solving Family Relationships Alcohol and Drug Use Leisure Community Social Network Sexuality Productivity Coping Skills Behavior Norm Personal Hygiene Grooming Dress 3
4 How to Score the DLA For each of the 20 daily living activities, you will assign a score (1 7) that reflects your client s functioning in the past 30 days Think of the DLA as a snapshot of your client s life in the past month Scoring Strengths A strength means that, compared to the rest of the population, client s functioning is within normal limits Score these activities as 5, 6, or 7 Scoring Weaknesses A weakness means that, compared to the rest of the population, client s functioning is impaired and not within normal limits Score these activities as 1, 2, 3, or 4 6 What is Collaborative Documentation? Collaborative Documentation is a process in which clinicians and clients collaborate in the documentation of the New and updates Assessment s, DLA-20, New Service Plans and reviews, and Progress Notes- Office Based or in Community with Individuals, Families & Groups. CD is a clinical tool that provides clients with the opportunity to provide their input and perspective on services and progress, and allows clients and providers the opportunity to clarify their understanding of important issues and focus on outcomes. The Client must be present and engaged in the process of documentation development. 7 4
5 Collaborative Documentation Can: Improve client engagement and involvement Help focus clinical work on change and positive outcomes Improve compliance Save you time and create capacity Improve quality of life of clinicians 8 Collaborative Documentation Requires a Shift in Thinking We need to stop thinking of clinical documentation as paperwork and start thinking about it as the clinical work. Be prepared to be more transparent as a provider. Be prepared to decrease how much you are writing. A great note does not mean a long note. Remember that it is OK to Agree to Disagree. Be prepared to shift your language to client friendly language that will still maintain medical necessity. Use clients language and terms that client can understand and/or relate to because using technical terminology can negatively impact treatment. 9 5
6 Documentation Strategies That Support Collaboration Key is to develop a meaningful clinical 10 narrative that follows the Golden Thread so that Collaborative Documentation can support: A natural, meaningful conversation Efficiency Medical necessity and compliance Medical Necessity implies Focus on functioning in three key documents Pulling the Golden Thread from the diagnostic assessment (1) through to the individualized treatment plan (2) and finally to the progress notes (3) Diagnostic Assessment Treatment Plan Progress Notes Describing signs and symptoms associated with diagnosis is not sufficient; must describe specific functional impairments Symptom-based plans are not enough; must include functionality-based treatment goals Willa S. Presmanes, Katherine C. Hirsch, LCSW, and Annie Jensen, LCSW Progress reviews cannot be purely subjective; must document specific and measurable improvements in functioning Collaborative Documentation: Intake/ Assessment Complete one content section at a time Discuss the section with the client/ family Enter into system allowing client to see and comment/clarify Presenting Problem Psychiatric Hx Family Hx, etc. Complete DLA 20 We are going to complete this form to assist us in better understanding how your symptoms are impairing your daily life Diagnoses: Talk with client about what diagnoses really are and then share your current conclusions and document with client. Use the symptoms they describe and the data from DLA 20 Interpretative/Clinical Summary Say OK, let sum up what we ve discussed today. Document with the client. Identified Needs/ Problems Develop clearly identified and prioritized Behavioral Health Needs (Problem Areas) that can be used to establish Goals. Utilize the DLA-20 data and current symptoms to identify the clients assessed need. This will be the link from the assessment to the goal. Say, So the areas that we ve identified that we should work on together are 1:.., 2:, etc. If the client doesn t want to work on one or more of these record that with the client. Katherine Hirsch and Annie Jensen, LCSW, Clinical Consultant 11 6
7 Service Planning Goals Definition: A Goal is a general statement of outcome related to an identified need in the clinical assessment which stems from the DLA-20 identified areas of need. A goal statement takes a particular identified need and answers the question, What do we (clinician and client) want the outcome of our work together to be, as we address this identified need? Willa S. Presmanes, MTM Services & NCCBH 12 Collaboratively Documenting Treatment Plan Objectives Goal Attempt to develop a measurable and observable outcome that: Will be apparent to the client Meaningful to the client Achievable in a reasonable amount of time Can be assessed in an objective way Objective/ Invervention Remember: Objectives are important to allow you and the client to tell if the work you are doing together is working. Objective/ Intervention Interventions Discuss the Intervention(s)/ Strategy(s) that will be used to help achieve the objective Document with the client. Help them understand that this is what you will do to help them achieve their objectives (Walk up the staircase). Services: Discuss the modality/service that the intervention(s) will be provided in as well as the planned frequency and duration. Review recommended frequency and confirm what they are able/ willing to commit to. Objective/ Intervention Objective/ Intervention 13 7
8 Keys to Completing Progress Note Be aware of the treatment goals and objectives. Start every session by reviewing the previous weeks note ( Plan Section) Break up the note (Many complete Mental status at beginning of the session) Interact normally with the client during session Wrap-up the session and complete note collaboratively 14 How do I do a CD progress Note? At end of session (Time usually used for Wrap Up ) say, Lets review, SUMMARIZE and write down the important parts of our session today. 1. New, salient information provided by client. 2. Changes in mental status 3. Goal(s) and Objective(s) that were focused on 4. Interventions Provided 5. Client s response to intervention (today) What did we do today that was helpful. 6. Client s progress re the Goal/ objective being addressed (Functioning) 7. Plan for continuing work ( What are you going to do? What an I going to do? What are we going to do together?) 15 8
9 Keys to Completing Progress Notes with Children Engagement Techniques: Use simple rewards Encourage the client to tell parent/ guardian about what we did today Identify activity client can do while completing the note (Squiggle game, jumping jacks, coloring, stress ball) Explain the need for their help with your homework. ( Help client understand what you need from them and how their input will help you. ) Value what the client says, using quotes when appropriate. 16 Collaborative Documentation Strategies General Tips: Assume that your clients will read their documentation at some point. Let clients see the computer/ documentation as it is being developed Agree to disagree! Do as much as you can. Identify the aspects of documentation that are most important to do collaboratively. Start with clients that you think will be receptive and who you are comfortable with. Then continue implementation from there. Start the process with new clients right away. 17 9
10 Jonny s DLA-20 Scores Katherine Hirsch and Annie Jensen, LCSW, Clinical Consultant DLA-20 Coping Skills Jonny is somewhat accepting of adult correction and follows it some of the time until he is distracted with something else. He occasionally becomes angry and discouraged when he is given consequences for failing to complete a task. His teacher appears to be losing her patience with his classroom behavior. Mother is more effective in keeping him on task, but that is due to 1 on 1 attention she can provide. Jonny is easily distractible. Willa S. Presmanes 10
11 Compliant MH Goals that relate to DLA-20 that need measureable objectives Examples of goals: Jonny wants to be able to concentrate in class and follow directions when given so he can engage in school and home without conflict or consequences. Jonny will be able to complete a task with no more than two prompts so he can participate in a group/team activity without distracting peers Mom wants her son Jonny to be able to focus and follow directions so he can succeed in school and to decrease constant redirection at home. Willa S. Presmanes, MTM Services & NCCBH Example: Measurable OBJECTIVES Using functional challenges (<=4 DLA20 scores) Jonny will increase concentration and follow through as evidence by completing a task with 1-2 prompts so that he can participate in more classroom, leisure and home activities. Jonny will identify three coping skills and utilize a coping skill after prompted to assist in decreasing impulsive/ distractive behaviors so that client is succeeding in school/home/ community activities. Jonny will express when he needs help from his teacher by giving her a thumbs up signal at least 1 time a day so that he can improve his communication skills and ability to access supports. Willa S. Presmanes, MTM Services & NCCBH 11
