Skill-Building
and Advanced Application of the Revised ASAM Criteria (PPC-2R),
Including Criteria for Co-Occurring Mental and Substance-Related
Disorders (Dual Diagnosis)
David Mee-Lee, M.D.
Workshop
Description:
Many
clinicians already have some understanding about the ASAM
Patient Placement Criteria. They strive to implement concepts
of continuum of care, levels of care, and clinically-driven,
individualized treatment. Yet they still struggle with how
to use complex placement criteria. There is a continuing need
to improve skills:
---to carefully assess clients in a multidimensional way;
---to document a more targeted,focused individualized treatment
plan and
---to effectively state their case with supervisors, managed
care and utilization review.
This
workshop is designed to build skills in assessment, documentation
and the implementation of a continuum of care using the newly
revised Second Edition of the ASAM Patient Placement Criteria
(PPC-2R). Greater explanation of the criteria and guidelines
for Co-Occurring Mental and Substance-Related Disorders (Dual
Diagnosis) plus the fully revised Adolescent Criteria will
be given. In addition, specific hands-on exercises will be
utilized to help clinicians practise implementation of the
ASAM Criteria.
Nowadays
there is increasing pressure for more specific documentation
to justify reimbursement of services and to demonstrate careful
assessment and tailored treatment planning. In this regard,
participants will practise documentation skills that promote
quality care, plus meet external expectations of managed care,
CARF, JCAHO, and licensure requirements.
Educational
Objectives:
Participants
will:
(1 ) Learn how to organize assessment data to make proper
placement decisions
(2)
Use client case material to practice individualization of
problems and treatment plans
(3) Learn how to improve the range of treatment services and
develop service tracks using the assessment dimensions of
the Criteria. Emphasis will be placed on those clients in
early stages of readiness to change, and on dual diagnosis
clients.
