The Direct Service Worker was not in attendance at the full Annual ISP meeting, however participated in the development, review and planning. We feel we remain in compliance with both the 2390 Regulations/LII and the ODP Memo 037-13. The Regulation 2390.154(a)(1)(iii) states ¿A plan team must include as its members the following:¿¿ ¿A direct service worker who works with the client from each provider delivering a service to the client.¿
The plan team includes the Direct Support Professional (DSP), this staff participated in Goal Planning Review for the Initial Trial Period on 3/9/2016, then monthly on 4/5/2016, 5/2/2016, 6/8/2016, 7/1/2016, 8/1/2016, 9/1/2016, 10/4/2016 and 11/1/2016 to monitor the new goal as documented on the signed and dated progress notes as part of the annual ISP preparation.
Further the DSP met with the PS in advance of the ISP meeting on 11/2/2016 to review any changes or updates needed using the internal PCIT Meeting Preparation Form.
The LII 2390.154(a)(1)(iii)states ¿Does the plan team include a direct service worker that works with the individual and any other person the individual invites? Explanation: Every effort should be made for the identified service workers who work with the individual to attend and participate in the ISP, ISP Annual Update, ISP revision meetings?¿ Although we make every effort, I see no requirement that the direct service worker be in attendance at the ISP, they are in attendance for each quarterly review, therefore are always part of the ISP Plan team.
The ODP Informational Memo 037-13 we use for rules about attendance was issued in 2013 to clarify the Regulation. It states the Program Specialist is the only required plan team member to attend. The Direct Support Professional does meet monthly with the PS to review goals and progress and then directly before the Annual ISP Meeting to participate in the development of the ISP. The Direct Support Professional also participates in quarterly review meetings.
This is an excerpt from our ODP Directives: The Regulation Revisions Related to the Individual Support Plan (ISP) Webinar, Part 3 ¿ Clarifications and updates 2011, page 6, which states in paragraph 5:
¿A program specialist from each licensed provider are the only members of the ISP team that must be present at the Initial, Annual Update, and Revision ISP meetings¿¿
Also on page 10, which states in paragraphs 3 and 4;
¿The direct service worker is an important member of the ISP team and must be sent an invitation to the ISP meeting. The direct service worker contributes information to the ISP Annual Review Meeting, but is not required to attend.¿¿ ¿The only person required to attend the ISP meetings is the program specialist.¿ |

Individual # 8 had meetings scheduled past the 90 day rule as well.
Our past interpretation of the Regulation 156(a)had been based on the LII Explanation which indicated that ¿The three month period starts from the date of the last review, therefore 4 reviews over the course of one year is the minimum standard.¿ We have scheduled our meetings within the month it was being held, as close to the date as possible to keep from losing the Annual Review Update Date schedule as required by ODP.
Beginning October 1, 2017, new Policy and Procedure will indicate that scheduling of all ISP Reviews should always occur prior to the end a 3 month period starting from the date of the last review as indicated in the LII. This may mean that the full plan team may not be available, but that as long as the required team members and the individual can meet, a meeting will be held within the 3 month period. All Program Specialists will be trained in the new procedure.
Individual # 5 had a re-schedule notice in the file indicating a team conflict of schedule making the meeting 2 days past the 90 day rule.
Individual # 9 had a re-schedule notice in the file indicating a team conflict of schedule making the meeting 12 days past the 90 day rule.
Our current policy is:
When the team schedules an ISP review date, it is originally agreed upon by all members of the plan team. However, occasions arise where a member has a conflict and a re-scheduling notice is sent to all plan team members and is filed for documentation.
Beginning October 1, 2017, new Policy and Procedure will indicate that rescheduling should always occur prior to the end of the 3 month period, unless there is documentation of an emergency. This may mean that the full plan team may not be available, but that as long as the required team members and the individual can meet, a meeting will be held within the 3 month period. All Program Specialists will be trained in the new procedure. |
