CIP Documentation & Case Management Flashcards

An informed consent document in CIP practice should include:

Answer: Description of services, fees, confidentiality limits, and client rights

Informed consent must describe the nature of services, fees, confidentiality parameters and limitations, and the client's rights within the process.

When documenting an intervention case, the CIP should use language that is:

Answer: Objective, specific, and free from clinical diagnoses outside the CIP's scope

Documentation should be objective and specific while avoiding clinical diagnoses outside the CIP's scope, ensuring accurate and defensible records.

A CIP's release of information form should specify:

Answer: Exactly what information will be shared, with whom, and for what purpose and time period

Releases of information must specifically identify the information to be shared, the recipient, the purpose, and the expiration date to be legally valid.

Case management in CIP practice involves coordinating all of the following EXCEPT:
