Sec. 4.1.
Mission statements.
(a) The mission of State-operated facilities for persons with mental illness
is to provide treatment, rehabilitation, and residential care to recipients
admitted voluntarily or involuntarily because of their need for intensive
services in a protective, secure setting. The Department shall offer services
to a recipient within a State-operated facility as long as is necessary to
accomplish stabilization of the recipient's psychiatric status and treatment
regimen or arrangements for appropriate continued services. Services shall be
provided in a safe, humane environment by staff with the appropriate
credentials, licensure, and training. Services shall be based on professionally
recognized models and shall be monitored for quality. Services shall include,
but are not limited to:
(1) Diagnosis;
(2) Medication prescription, adjustment and |
|
(3) Counseling and therapy;
(4) Assessment and psychosocial rehabilitation of
|
| social, self-care, community living, and pre-vocational skills;
|
|
(5) Recipient education regarding his or her illness
|
| and compliance with required treatment regimen; and
|
|
(6) Discharge planning and linkage with community
|
|
All services shall be rendered with adherence to recipient rights as defined
in the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code as now or hereafter
amended.
(b) Each State-operated facility shall publish a mission statement which
specifically defines its role in the system of services for persons with
mental illness or persons with a developmental disability. Mission statements
shall be developed with reference to all relevant factors, including but not
limited to:
(1) Geographic area or areas served;
(2) Characteristics of persons appropriate for
|
|
(3) Bed capacity and facility model of unit
|
| organization (e.g., catchment area, service intensity or model, projected length of stay, etc.);
|
|
(4) Specific program, treatment, habilitation and
|
| rehabilitation services offered;
|
|
(5) Integration with community agencies and methods
|
| of assuring continuity of care;
|
|
(6) Accreditation, certification, and licensure
|
|
(7) Staffing levels and qualifications; and
(8) Identification of recipient groups for which an
|
| alteration of service locus is or will be attempted and discussion of this process (e.g., deflection of voluntary psychiatric admissions to crisis programs in the community or movement of persons with moderate developmental disabilities to intermediate care facilities for persons with a developmental disability).
|
|
Because the division of tasks between State-operated facilities and other
service providers can change over time, mission statements shall be
reviewed and revised every 3 years. Allowance for professional and public
input shall be made and each facility shall prepare a summary of concerns
regarding its operations, community linkage, inappropriately served or
unserved populations, or other problems. Final publication of each mission
statement shall include proposed actions to address major concerns to be
undertaken by the facility and other providers in the system.
