The attached document titled Creating an Initial Discharge Plan in Ohio RTIS describes how to create an Initial Discharge Plan within the Residential Treatment Information System (Ohio RTIS).
The attached document titled Creating a Review Discharge Plan in RTIS describes how to create a Review Discharge Plan within the Residential Treatment Information System (Ohio RTIS). A Review Discharge plan may be created after the Initial Discharge Plan has been approved for the purposes of a Monthly Review, Service Plan Review, Aftercare Updates or Closure.
Important information from these articles:
- Ohio Administrative Code 5101:2-9-42 - Qualified residential treatment program (QRTP) mandates the Discharge Plan is to be started within 1 business day of a youth's placement in a congregate care facility.
- Do not create a Direct Placement record for any youth that is in the custody of a child welfare agency/IV-E court for the purposes of starting a Discharge Plan, as this will create duplicate Residential Treatment Episodes.
- While there are many data elements contained in the Discharge Plan, it has been designed to allow congregate care facilities the flexibility to enter in information as it best suits their needs, with only a few required fields. Otherwise, users may leave these areas blank or allow system-generated data only to display.
- Reviews of the Discharge Plan should take place every 30 days and/or during every Service Plan review while the youth is in placement. This requirement no longer applies once the youth has left the QRTP facility.
- The last Discharge Plan Review completed as part of a youth’s placement will serve as the Discharge Summary. The same questions are found in all Review types.
- Do not complete a Closing Discharge Plan until you are certain no further updates are needed on the Discharge Plan. Once approved, a Closing Discharge Summary will prevent any further Discharge Plans from being created for this Placement Episode.
- Aftercare Updates to the Discharge Plan should only be done if the youth experiences significant changes post-discharge, such as a change in home placement or service providers, and the caregivers require an updated copy of the Discharge Plan. Otherwise, all Aftercare notes should be housed in the Contacts, NOT in an Aftercare Update to the Discharge Plan.
