DMH Disaster Preparedness and Response Plan Development guidance
ATTACHMENT A – Hazard Vulnerability Analysis (HVA)
•
An HVA is conducted to determine the risks associated with probable or possible disasters or events.
•
An HVA identifies the events most likely to affect your organization and the probable impact if they do occur
•
Depending on the evaluated level of preparedness, the facility must take necessary steps to ensure they are prepared to
meet the challenges presented by the hazards
There are Four Areas of Concern: Natural, Technological, Human, and Hazmat Events
These should be broken out into each individual type of event (i.e. tornado, fire, etc.)
Items to address for each event type:
•
Probability
What is the known risk this will happen
-
Low – Rare
-
Moderate – Unusual
-
High – High Potential or Have Experienced
Use of historical data about previous events can help predict the likelihood
•
Response

How big will that response be
Historical evaluation of response success
•
Human Impact
Potential for staff death or injury
Potential for patient death or injury
•

General Information
DMH Strikethrough 2016 Record Guide Purpose & Guidance
2016 DMH Operational Standards Record Guide
Purpose
Documentation required in the Mississippi Department of Mental Health (DMH) Record Guide
serves as one of the methods for planning and evaluating services and supports provided by
agencies and providers certified by the DMH. The intent of the record system outlined in this
guide is to help ensure compliance with the DMH Operational Standards.
The emphasis of this Record Guide is on guidance needed to satisfy any and all
documentation requirements referenced in the DMH Operational Standards or otherwise
needed to ensure documentation of all services provided by agencies certified by DMH.
Because of the DMH mandatory data collection and reporting requirements, along with the
increasing use of electronic record keeping that many providers are implementing, the need
to maintain paper forms is declining. This guide seeks to describe the type and amount of
documentation that is necessary and provide a sample of a format with all information
needed to satisfy the DMH record keeping requirements.
Additional information may be added and the appearance of the form may be changed
by the local provider. However, if required data or information is deleted in the process of
modifying the form, it will no longer satisfy DMH Operational Standards for record keeping.
General Information
A single case record must be maintained for all individuals served by the agency/provider and
must contain specific mandatory data and information. Additional data or information may be
included to ensure that sufficient information is maintained to protect the privacy of all
individuals receiving services. Two years of documentation must be maintained in the active
record. All completed documentation should be present in the individual’s record no later than
the 10th day of the following month to the service was delivered unless more stringent
timelines are required by DMH.
The Record Guide is divided into sections that allow the user to identify those forms or data
tools required for all individual records, those that are used when the circumstances of the
individual receiving services dictates their use, those that are specific to an area of service,
and those that are administrative documentation that is not maintained in an individual’s
record.
Each form has specific guidance that states the purpose of the form/data tool. Also included
in the guidance are references to the DMH Operational Standards and specific information
regarding the nature and purpose of all forms/data tools.
References to “days” in the Record Guide mean calendar days.
Any section or area of a form that is not applicable must contain a strikethrough line that
clearly indicates the item was not overlooked or omitted and that it does not apply to the
individual receiving services.
DMH Strikethrough 2016 Record Guide Purpose & Guidance
Signatory Authority
Signatures are necessary to verify that information has been correctly and thoroughly shared
with individuals receiving services. Signatures are also necessary to create a legally binding
document. Forms in the Record Guide require signatures necessary for proper authorization
of a particular form. Each signature line provided is clearly marked as to who is expected to
sign. All signature lines on all forms must either be signed or marked as “not applicable” if
that is the correct response. For example, all of the signature lines provided may not be
necessary to document the individuals who participated in development of the Individual
Service Plan or the Periodic Staffing/Review of the Individual Service Plan.
Electronic signatures are allowed on any form in the Record Guide.
Signature of the Individual Receiving Services
The individual receiving services must sign for himself or herself unless one of the following
conditions applies or is present:
1.
The individual is under 18 years of age.
2.
A legal representative has been appointed for the person by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
3.
If a person cannot physically sign or is not mentally/cognitively able to understand the
form, a parent or next of kin can sign if they indicate they are signing as such.
Physical, mental or cognitive ability to sign and understand the form must be
determined by a medical doctor or psychologist. Documentation must be maintained in
the record.
Signature of Individual Authorized to Give Consent or Sign in Lieu of the
Individual Receiving Services
If one of the conditions stated above applies and the person is unable to sign for himself or
herself, the person who is authorized to give consent or sign in lieu of the individual must sign
the form(s). If the individual is under 18 years of age, this authorized representative is the
parent unless a court ordered (legal) guardian or a conservator has been appointed for the
child/youth. If the individual receiving services, regardless of his/her age, has a court ordered
(legal) guardian or a conservator, the guardian/conservator must sign all forms on behalf of
the individual receiving services. In the case of a court ordered (legal)
guardian/conservator, a copy of guardianship/conservatorship papers must be
maintained in the record.
The legal guardian or conservator of an individual receiving service(s) must review and
sign the paperwork required in order for an individual to receive services.
Should the individual’s legal guardian or conservator choose to delegate his/her
responsibility and signatory authority to another individual for the completion of daily
paperwork (including delegating signature authority to the individual being served), DMH
will accept the signature of that individual. The legal guardian or conservator must
provide written documentation of such delegation and to whom the signatory authority
is being delegated. This must be maintained in the individual’s record. Daily signature
DMH Strikethrough 2016 Record Guide Purpose & Guidance
authority cannot be delegated to the service provider. However, the legal guardian or
conservator must continue to sign annual paperwork, such as the Consent for Services and
Individual Service Plan.
Signature of Witness/Credential
In the case of some DMH documentation, a witness must sign in order to verify that the
signature(s) are valid, particularly if a person is signing in lieu of the individual receiving
services. Forms requiring the signature of a witness will have a signature line provided for
the witness. This requirement will be reflected in the guidance for that particular form.
If an individual signs with a mark or an “X,” the signature of a witness is required. If the form
does not include a line for a witness, the witness will sign next to the mark or “X.”
If the witness is an employee of the facility or program, he/she must include his/her
credentials or position.
Billing
All questions concerning billing should reference the funding source. Questions concerning
Medicaid billing should reference the Medicaid Guidelines issued by the Division of Medicaid,
Office of the Governor.

reports and data as required by DMH. The Face Sheet can be generated as a report by the
agency’s database system once all the data has been entered into the agency’s system.
Depending on the specific data collection and reporting system that the agency uses, additional
personal information may have to be added to complete the Face Sheet. The Face Sheet must
contain all 44 data elements required in the DMH Manual of Uniform Data Standards.
The required elements of the Face Sheet are provided on the following page. Providers should
reference the DMH Manual of Uniform Data Standards for applicable codes and should consult

DMH Strikethrough 2016 Consent to Release-Obtain Information guidance
Consent to Release/Obtain Information
Purpose
Providers must have prior written authorization before information regarding an individual
receiving service can be released. A fully executed Consent to Release/Obtain Information
must be in place in order to legally exchange, release, or obtain information between
individuals, agencies and/or providers. The original Consent to Release/Obtain Information
form must always be maintained in the individual’s case record.
Release/Obtain Information
Enter the name and address of the agency from which the action is required.
Complete the Release Information To when requesting a provider to send confidential
information about an individual to another entity.
Complete the Obtain Information From section when confidential information regarding an
individual receiving/requesting to receive services needs to be obtained from another entity.
The specific purpose for which the information is needed must be indicated. Staff must specify
the exact reason for obtaining/releasing the information.
Extent/Nature of Information
The specific extent and/or nature of the information to be disclosed must be checked. If ‘Other’
is checked, the specific extent/nature of the disclosure must be described in detail. A generic
authorization for the non-specific release of medical or other personal information is not
sufficient for this purpose.
Date/Event/Condition
In order to clearly show the point in time when the Consent will expire, the following information
must be provided: 1) the month, day, and year, or 2) an event, or; 3) a condition that will deem
the Consent form expired; meaning no further action can be taken once the specific
date/event/condition is satisfied. An example of an event or condition may be, “30 days after
discharge or termination of services”.
For children and youth receiving services in a school setting, a date period that covers a specific
school year must be used.
The actions, conditions and limits of the consent must be clearly explained to the individual
receiving services and/or to a person who is legally authorized to act on his/her behalf.
The provider must clearly explain the conditions under which confidential information may be
released without consent. Confidential information may be released without consent when
necessary for continued services treatment; when release is necessary for the determination of
eligibility for benefits, compliance with statutory reporting requirements, or other lawful purpose;
if you communicate to the treating physician, psychologist, master social worker or licensed
professional counselor an actual threat of physical violence against a clearly identified or
reasonably identifiable potential victim or victims; in compliance with reporting requirements
under state law of incidents of suspected child abuse or neglect or by court order.
DMH Strikethrough 2016 Consent to Release-Obtain Information guidance
Witness
The Consent to Release/Obtain Information requires the signature of a witness. If the witness
is an employee of the program, he/she must include his/her credentials (if applicable). If the
individual receiving services can only make their mark (for example “X”), place the mark in
quotations and write out beside it, John Doe’s Mark substituting individual’s name. A second
witness to the individual’s signature is required in this case.

DMH Trauma History guidance
Trauma History
Purpose
The Trauma History is a screening tool designed to determine whether or not an individual
receiving services has experienced trauma in the past. This tool is not a standardized measure
and there are no scoring guidelines. This assessment should be administered in an interview
format that allows the clinician to explain questions in a developmentally appropriate manner to
ensure the client understands what is being asked. The interview process also allows the
clinician to observe nonverbal responses to questions that might indicate a trauma response
such as anxiety, fear, avoidance, shame, etc.
General
The timeline for completion of the Trauma History is determined by the type of service or
program the individual is entering.
All individuals receiving services must complete a trauma history questionnaire. Outpatient
Services must complete the trauma history questionnaire within 30 days, Day programs must
complete the trauma history questionnaire within 3 days of admission. Primary Residential
Services within 5 days of admission to the services. Crisis Stabilization Services must complete
the trauma history questionnaire within 48 hours. Results of trauma history questionnaire
should be incorporated into ISP and subsequent services.
The Trauma History Assessment is not a tool for gathering information or details about the
traumatic event. The clinician should maintain a neutral tone when asking each question. If the
client indicates he/she has experienced an event, then the therapist only asks at what age the
traumatic event(s) started and ended. If the client offers more information, the clinician
captures that content but does not attempt to elicit more details than offered, challenge nor
process the information shared.
If the client reports a positive trauma history, the clinician asks the client to identify the trauma
that is most distressing at that time. The identified trauma is then incorporated into the
Individual Service Plan and subsequent services and can be referred to when administering
formal trauma assessments.

Individual Service Plan guidance
Individual Service Plan
Purpose
Each individual who receives services must have an Individual Service Plan that is based on the
identified strengths and needs of the individual, the goals that will help address his/her needs, the
services to be provided, and the activities that will take place toward achieving measurable
individual outcomes. The individual seeking/ receiving services must be involved in the
development of his/her service plan. For individuals under the age of eighteen (18) or who are
unable to effectively participate in the planning process, a parent, legal guardian or conservator
must participate in planning on the individual’s behalf.
The timeline for completion of the Individual Service Plan is determined by the type of service or
program the individual is entering.
The Individual Service Plan must be reviewed and revised when goals or objectives are achieved,
as needs of the individual change, or according to specific service requirements but at least
annually.
Individual Strengths
List strengths the individual possesses and/or demonstrates that will assist and promote
successful achievement of outcomes.
Goals
The individual receiving services establishes the long term goals. Staff helps the individual set
short term goals which will contribute to achievement of the long term goal(s).
Identified Barriers
List barriers that may prevent the individual from achieving successful outcomes. Barriers must
include but are not limited to functional impairments in basic living skills, instrumental living skills
or social skills, as indicated by an assessment instrument/ approach approved by DMH.
Individualized Areas of Need
Refer to the Initial Assessment to identify symptoms, observable behaviors, clinical areas of need
and elaborate on duration (how long the symptoms/behaviors have been present or observed),
frequency (how often the symptoms/behaviors are present or observed), and how the
symptoms/observable behaviors create a functional impairment for the individual. Symptoms,
behaviors and clinical areas of need should serve as the focus of treatment, services and
supports for individuals.
Interventions, Criteria/Outcomes, Initiation and Target Dates
In order to effectively work toward achieving the long term and short term goal(s) identified by the
individual receiving services, the objectives and interventions must be measurable. Each
objective and intervention must have specific criteria or outcomes which clearly indicate an
objective has been reached or an intervention has been completed. Each intervention must be
Individual Service Plan guidance
numbered, assigned to a service area (eg. Peer Support Services, Therapy Services, Community
Support Services, etc) and have a specified target date for achievement or completion. Services
identified and certified as necessary must be provided to the individual. All services that the
individual is receiving must be indicated in relation to an objective/ intervention.
Diagnosis
Give the written diagnosis and appropriate codes for the individual receiving services.
Community Supports
Community Support Services must be made available to the following populations: adults with
serious mental illness and children/youth with serious emotional disturbance. If the individual
refuses Community Support Services, the refusal must be documented in writing. Community
Support Services must be offered to these specified individuals during the intake process and at a
minimum of every twelve (12) months while they remain in services.
Signatory Authority
Each individual who participates in the development of the Individual Service Plan must sign the
plan as evidence of his/her participation in plan development. If the Individual Service Plan is
developed for adults with a serious mental illness (SMI), individuals with intellectual/
developmental disabilities, children and youth with serious emotional disturbance (SED), or
individuals with a substance use disorder, a licensed Physician, a licensed Psychologist, a
Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, Physician Assistant or
Alzheimer’s Day Program Supervisor (for Alzheimer’s Day programs only) must sign the Individual
Service Plan, certifying the planned services are medically/therapeutically necessary.

DMH Strikethrough 2016 Periodic Staffing Review of ISP guidance
Periodic Staffing/Review of the Individual Service Plan
Purpose
The Periodic Staffing/ Review of the Individual Service Plan (ISP) is used to document periodic
review and revision in order to remain continuously current with regard to the goals and
outcomes the individual receiving services is seeking to achieve. As with the original ISP, all
reviews, revisions, or rewrites of the ISP must be a collaborative effort with the individual and/or
legal representative and the appropriate staff.
Timelines
Review and revision must occur whenever the individual receiving services experiences a
change in his/her life that impacts the goals of their current ISP. Life changes can be expected
to be initially reported in progress notes and may be in one or more of the areas listed below.
At a minimum, the ISP must be reviewed and revised/rewritten annually for adults and every six
months for children and youth.
Changes
Any or all changes in the following areas since the last ISP review must be documented in
specific detail:
•
Change in diagnosis
•
Change in symptoms
•
Change(s) in service activities
•
Change(s) in treatment/treatment recommendations
•
Other significant life change
Plan Modification
After documenting any and all changes that have occurred since the last ISP review, careful
consideration should be given to the impact these changes have made on the ISP in terms of
the needs expressed, goals and outcomes being pursued by the individual. The ISP should be
modified or rewritten if needed to ensure ongoing progress toward achievement of the
individual’s ISP goals. If the ISP needs to be rewritten, there must be involvement of the
treatment team and the Physician, Psychologist, Nurse Practitioner, Licensed Clinical Social
Worker, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, Physicians
Assistance or Alzheimer’s Day Program Supervisor (Alzheimer’s Day programs only) to
determine medical necessity.
Signatory Authority
Each individual who participates in the staffing/review of the Individual Service Plan must sign
the Periodic Staffing/Review of the ISP form as evidence of his/her participation in the
staffing/review process.
