Clinical Assessment

 

The information gathered in this Clinical Assessment will be used in two ways.  The first is to assist the members of the Community Support Plan team to develop a comprehensive and relevant community support plan for the patient.  The second is to provide information to Counties to coordinate and develop needed community resources for patients discharged from Mayview State Hospital.

The patient’s social worker is responsible for gathering the information to complete this clinical assessment.  All members of the patient’s treatment team, particularly those who know the patient ‘the best’, must participate in completing this assessment so the most comprehensive and up to date clinical information is available for Community Support Plan meetings.  If the patient has identified a staff member who is not an official member of the treatment team but who knows the patient well, that staff member can also be included in completing the assessment. In addition, the social worker must gather information from the assigned County and/or Provider Hospital Liaison.  All parties who contribute to the assessment must sign page 2 of this document.

There are a variety of ways to collect information to complete the Clinical Assessment.  The team can meet as a whole to complete the assessment or individual team members can complete the assessment during ‘downtime’, privately, in an office, or in a common space where the assessment is available twenty-four seven.  The only requirement is that the assessment be completed seven (7) working days prior to the first scheduled Community Support Plan meeting for the patient.
