Common use of Client Involvement Clause in Contracts

Client Involvement. Upon admission, the client will participate in the development of an individual Treatment Plan. The client will be educated on his or her role to ensure the goals established are achievable. The client will be involved in setting his or her own goals and milestones that will be tracked and measured at specified intervals. In the event that goals are missed, the client will work with the Program Director or licensed mental health professional to identify issues, problems, and obstacles the client is having. They will collaboratively work to remove the challenges the client is having. The client, at any time, may request a meeting with a licensed mental professional when he or she feels such a meeting is needed to maintain progress toward achieving set goals and milestones. • Discharge – Typically, discharge planning begins at the time a licensed mental health professional determines and recommends in writing that the client is able to function independently in a community. The discharge planning process culminates with the individualized discharge plan and recommendations, which includes a written aftercare plan. This document will go with the resident at the time of discharge from the facility and to any authorized provider or facility. The discharge plan is developed with the participation of the clients, family members or authorized representatives and includes recommendation for further treatment and/or follow-up activities after discharge from the program. The Program Director and Nursing staff are responsible for the efficacy of the discharge plan. Discharge process may also be initiated in the event of the termination of the client’s program as requested by the client, client’s legal representative, licensed mental health professional, or the Program Director in the events of severe violations of admissions agreements.
