Overview
Florida Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) is a dynamic multidisciplinary treatment team dedicated to delivering intensive community-based support to the severely mentally ill adult population. The purpose of FACT Care Manager is to be an integral part of multidisciplinary treatment team and carry out the rehabilitation and support functions under clinical supervision to help clients meet their needs in all aspects of living in the community. The Case Manager is responsible for completing thorough assessments to develop specific treatment plans that address the individual’s needs and challenges to optimize the functioning of recipients by coordinating the provision of quality treatment and support services in the most efficient and effective manner. Services and service frequency should accurately reflect the individual needs, goals, and ability of each recipient.
Essential/Core Job-specific Duties And Responsibilities
Assessment: Conduct comprehensive mental health assessments and ongoing assessments of persons served with mental illness, symptoms, status, and response to treatment. Communicate client’s mental health status and history to the FACT team and help the team determine level of care based on client’s individual needs. Complete initial assessment for assigned clients in collaboration with the team within 60 days and update required assessments in accordance with established guidelines. Collect collateral information (i.e. family and other providers, with appropriate consent) to complete thorough assessments of client’s need. Finalize all documents in Avatar and turns in all assessments within 48 hours.
Individualized Treatment Team (ITT): Schedule ITT meetings a month in advance of service plan expiring for assigned clients. Offer input and feedback (i.e. new issues, client response to treatment, client’s progress/lack of progress on service plan) to review clients’ progress and employment goals for the treatment plan with each client.
Case Management Service Delivery: Coordinate care, advocate on behalf of the participant, and provide access to a variety of services and supports. Core duties include:
Access to primary health care (medical and dental)
Link with resources, services, and opportunities (i.e. transportation, SS benefits, education)
Legal services (i.e. writing letters to the court about client’s progress, coordinating with client’s probation officer)
Supported housing (i.e. assist clients in finding and maintaining permanent housing)
Transport clients to appointments for services outlined in the CSP
Competency Training (i.e. providing training to assist the participant through the legal process and to regain competency)
Client Service Plan: Develop individualized Client Service Plans (CSP) in partnership with the client and the client’s guardian (if applicable), especially with employment goals. Develop CSPs that include measurable goals and objectives derived from the client’s assessment and identify time frames for achievement on goals which are signed and dated by the client and client’s guardian, if applicable. Assist with the implementation of the service plan, and follow up with the client’s services to determine the status and effectiveness of CSP towards enhancing the client’s inclusion in the community and autonomy. Update CSPs at least every 6 months. Make appropriate changes in CSP to ensure immediate and appropriate interventions are provided in response to changes in mental status or behavior which put persons served at risk (e.g., suicidality, hospitalizations, relapse). CSP must incorporate items obtained using enhancement funds and explain how it promotes client’s recovery goals.
Progress Notes: Document progress of persons served to maintain a permanent record per established methods and procedures. Documentation must be finalized in Avatar within 48 hours from the time the services were rendered. Progress notes must be detailed and clearly reflect how the staff’s efforts are linked to the services and goals in the client’s service plan and the client’s progress or lack thereof relative to the service plan.
