An individual in service planning expresses a goal of living independently within six months. The care coordinator should:
Answer: Incorporate the goal into the service plan and identify supports needed to achieve it
Person-centered ANSA planning requires incorporating the individual's own stated goals and building a support structure around achieving them.
Cultural competence in ANSA-informed service planning MOST directly requires the care coordinator to:
Answer: Consider the individual's cultural background when identifying appropriate resources and communication styles
Culturally competent ANSA planning means tailoring both the assessment process and service recommendations to align with the individual's cultural values and preferences.
Which ANSA-identified strength, when rated 2 (strength is a centerpiece), should be prominently built into the service plan?
Answer: A strength the individual actively uses and which significantly supports their functioning
A strength rated 2 on the ANSA indicates a well-developed, actively utilized asset that should anchor service planning interventions.
A care coordinator is transferring a client to a new provider. To ensure continuity of care, the MOST important action is:
Answer: Sharing the current ANSA, service plan, and a warm handoff meeting with the individual and new provider
Care transitions in ANSA systems require warm handoffs that transfer the full ANSA and service plan to prevent loss of progress and service gaps.
When the ANSA identifies a need in the 'legal' domain, the service plan should:
Answer: Coordinate with legal aid, probation, or other justice-involved supports as part of the plan
Legal involvement is a ANSA-assessed domain that should be addressed through coordinated supports within the broader service plan.
Which approach to setting timelines in an ANSA-based service plan is MOST appropriate?
Answer: Assign timelines based on the urgency of each ANSA-rated need and the individual's pace of change
Timelines in ANSA planning should be individualized and need-responsive, with urgent needs (rated 3) having shorter timelines than developmental goals.
A care coordinator notices that despite multiple service plan revisions, an individual's ANSA scores in the 'depression' domain remain at level 3. The BEST response is to:
Answer: Conduct a plan fidelity review to identify whether current interventions are being delivered and are evidence-based
Persistent high ANSA scores signal the need for a systematic fidelity review to determine whether services are being delivered as planned and are appropriately matched to the need.
