*TS: Tracer Methodology 101: Assigning Clinical Responsibilities in a Community Mental Health Center[®] [REF: BHC-HR] The Source, January 2014, Vol 12, #6, Pg 4 JCs1406_B2

This month’s tracer scenario is one of the few located in a community mental health center.  This, plus the fact that HR.02.01.03 (Clinical Responsibilities) is the “second most problematic standard for BHC organizations”, makes the 9 sample questions and Tracer Worksheet particularly relevant to our community providers.  The article points out the importance of timeliness.  Sample questions might include:
•    What is your process for assigning clinical responsibilities?
•    How do you monitor an LIP’s performance?
•    When do you begin the renewal process?
Tip: As always, we recommend collecting the included Tracer Worksheet and sample questions for use in Mock Tracers
