The treatment plan addresses problems identified in the beneficiary’s Mental Health Evaluation/Diagnosis, defines and measures interventions and provides a measure for the beneficiary’s progress in treatment. The treatment planning process is key in demonstrating the effectiveness of treatment interventions for beneficiaries. Good progress notes begin with effective treatment planning. Comprehensive treatment planning leads to easy documentation in progress notes; poorly developed treatment planning leads to incomplete or unclear documentation of services. 3 The Master Treatment Plan is: The “Physician’s Order” for treatment Based on “identified needs/problems” from the Mental Health Evaluation/Diagnosis Developed in collaboration with the beneficiary and/or guardian Problems identified during the Mental Health Evaluation/Diagnosis should be prioritized and included in the Master Treatment Plan. There should be a “flow” between the Mental Health Evaluation/Diagnosis and the Master Treatment Plan. 4 Diagnosis: Depressive Disorder NOS Example Example Goal: Sally will report no panic attacks at the store. Goal: Sally will report no episodes of crying without cause. 5 Outcomes Should be the Focus of Treatment Outcomes can clearly be attributed to the treatment. Outcomes are measurable. Outcomes are realistic. Outcomes can be achieved within the target dates. Outcomes are agreed upon or determined by the beneficiary. 6 Goals are: An observable and defined result having one or more objectives to be achieved within a fixed timeframe. A behavioral outcome statement. 7 Developing Treatment Goals Review the beneficiary’s Mental Health Evaluation/Diagnosis and other assessments. Develop the long term goal for the beneficiary and begin to formulate, with the beneficiary and/or guardian, what objectives would need to be met in order to achieve the goal. 8 Developing Treatment Goals Ask the beneficiary the questions? What do you want to accomplished? What do want to do differently? How do you think therapy can improve your life? What new skills do you want to learn to improve your quality of life? 9 Treatment Objectives Are: The roadmap on the path toward achievement of the goals. A statement in specific and measurable terms that describes what the beneficiary will accomplish as a result of treatment and interventions. 10 Why are Treatment Objectives important? Nothing happens without a plan! Objectives: Set treatment priorities Monitor progress toward goal/s Set targets for accountability Provide framework for treatment and outcomes 11 Treatment Objectives are Individualized Symptom severity and chronicity vary by beneficiary with the same diagnosis. Developmental and intellectual factors result in symptoms being expressed differently by beneficiaries with the same diagnosis. Expression of symptoms varies between genders. Cultural issues which impact treatment must be considered. Community, support systems, and environmental factors must be considered in the formulation of objectives (i.e. toxic environments, transportation, family support, access to basic necessities, etc.). 12 Treatment Objectives are Specific What will the beneficiary do that indicates that a goal is attained? How would you differentiate between the beneficiary who achieves the goal and the one who does not? The objective must be measurable and specific. Objectives must be written from the perspective, “The beneficiary will…. The objective must be realistic, something the beneficiary can achieve or accomplish. Each objective should have only one focus. 13 Treatment Objectives Should be: SMART Specific: concrete, detailed, and well defined. Measurable: numeric or descriptive, quantity, quality or comparative Achievable: feasible, attainable, actionable Realistic: considers resources, barriers, strengths, can be achieved Time Specific: identifies target dates, includes interim steps to monitor progress and defines a time line in which objectives are to be achieved 14 Treatment Objectives Specific: State specifically what the beneficiary wants/needs to achieve. Describe the action, symptom, or behaviors to be addressed Include both the current “level” (frequency, intensity, etc.) and the “level” of behavioral change desired. State the specific target behavior Should be brief, to the point and understandable by the beneficiary and/or guardian. 15 Treatment Objectives Measurable: Be able to determine the extent to which the action, behavior or objective has changed from the baseline to desired outcome. Identify a device, system, person, or method to track and record the target action, symptoms or behaviors. The type of measurement or measuring tool must be specified. Whatever the means of measurement, it should be valid and reliable. 16 Treatment Objectives Measurable: (Continued) If the objective is measurable, the measurement source/s is identified and the beneficiary and/or guardian and treatment team are able to track progress toward the objective. It is important to have measures that will encourage and motivate beneficiaries on their way as they see change. This may require interim measures or short target date intervals. Measurements go a long way to help all members of the treatment team as well as the beneficiary and/or guardian to know when the objective/s have been achieved. 17 Treatment Objectives Achievable: Can it be accomplished? There should be a reasonable belief in the beneficiary’s ability to accomplish the objective. Consider beneficiary’s symptoms, behaviors, skills, strengths, abilities, limitations, as well as any potential barriers to achieving the objective. Objectives should be achievable within the identified target date and should keep the beneficiary motivated. 18 Treatment Objectives Realistic: Realistic means that the beneficiary has the ability to accomplish the objective within the identified target date Achievement of the objective/s should be meaningful to the beneficiary and/or guardian. Are the resources available or can they be developed to achieve this objective? Are family/significant others supportive and involved in attaining the agreed upon objective? 19 Treatment Objectives Time Specific: When should the objective be accomplished? Time specific means setting a deadline for the achievement of the objective. Target dates need to be achievable and realistic. Target dates create the necessary urgency and prompts for action. Clearly state the target date for each specific objective. Consider any real or perceived obstacles,(what are they and can they be overcome), to accomplishing the objective on or before the target date. 20 Diagnosis: Depressive Disorder NOS Example Example Objective: Sally will learn three coping skills to manage sadness. Objective: Sally will learn three coping skills to reduce her sadness. Sally will report the use of one or more of these skills for each incidents of sadness for three consecutive weeks, as noted in her feelings diary. 21 Objectives lead to development of treatment activities What will the treatment team do to bring about the change? Treatment Activities All services to be provided by the treatment team must be specific to the objective. There may be several treatment activities/interventions pertaining to each objective or to more than one objective. The goal, objectives, treatment activities and progress are described in the progress notes. 22 Interventions/Treatment Activities In the context of behavioral health, a treatment activity/intervention may be any outside process that has the effect of modifying an individual's behavior, cognition, or emotional state. Treatment activities/interventions are the unique treatment activities provided to a beneficiary by a Mental Health Professional or Mental Health Paraprofessional, which require specific licensure, certification and/or training. Interventions that could be performed by someone without specific licensure, certification, and/or training should be evaluated for appropriateness under the RSPMI program. 23 What is not an intervention/treatment activity? Transporting Delivering food, medication, etc. Completing forms and paperwork Being a best friend, support system, etc. Creating dependency Helping with homework, tutoring Mentoring (System of Care Service) 24 Diagnosis: Depressive Disorder NOS Example Example Intervention: I listened to the Sally talk about her sadness due to the death of her mother and her guilt over things she wished she had not said or done. Intervention: I actively listened to Sally describe her sadness and guilt. I pointed out her use of “should” and “would” statements indicating her rumination over the past and events that she could not change. Discussed how she felt when she used positive self statements, rather than negative self statements and she was able to note the difference. 25 Discontinuing or Changing Goals and/or Objectives When should a goal or objective be discontinued or changed? The beneficiary chooses not to work on the objective. The objective was not achieved and is not likely to be achieved. There are too many objectives (not specific enough or diffuse attention) New information has been provided that was not known earlier and the objective is no longer a focus of treatment. Goals and/or objectives have been accomplished. Be sure if you discontinue or change a goal or objective, you state why it has been changed or discontinued in the update. 26 Let’s put it all together! 27 Measurable Objectives Example • Beneficiary will attend rehab day and participate in milieu. 28 Example • Beneficiary will learn 2 skills necessary to independently make and keep appointment with MD and therapist.
