SMI Determination Form Clinical Guide

SMI Determination Form The diagnostic section: Indicate what, if any, SMI diagnoses you are proposing You may circle/check or write the diagnosis and ICD-10 code on the paperwork, section 1 You may write a description of the SMI diagnosis/criteria (1a) or attach a document

SMI Determination Form Functional Impairment Section: 2a-2c: Indicate whether you are proposing that there is an area of functional impairment that is due to the qualifying diagnosis, for the duration specified. If so, check off the appropriate box(es) The eval and records submitted should reflect that there is functional impairment in those areas, and that they are caused by the proposed SMI diagnosis. You may write a description of this here, or attach a document

Functional Impairment Risk of Deterioration (3) criteria is only indicated when the other functional criteria are not met, but the person is expected to deteriorate to such a level without treatment Indicate whether they have a history of decompensation related to their SMI diagnosis, whether they have persistent and chronic risk factors, co- morbidities placing them at high risk, and whether they have barriers to obtaining treatment

When Functional Criteria May Not be Met Ensure that you are only checking off functional impairment boxes when you have clear documentation linking the SMI dx to that functional impairment for the time frame noted If there are any doubts, leave that portion blank You may write something like: “It is possible that the fx impairment is directly caused by the SMI diagnosis, but there may be other causal factors”, such as substance use, medical conditions, criminal record, non-SMI diagnoses, etc.

Functional Decision Making: The Psychologist’s Approach If there is evidence for an SMI qualifying diagnosis, then we examine whether SMI functional criteria are met There must be at least one area of Functional Impairment that is due to the Qualifying Diagnosis, for the duration specified Eval/records should demonstrate how the diagnosis is directly linked to the impairment and how the duration criterion is met

Functional Decision Making: The Psychologist’s Approach cont. Additionally: it needs to be clear that the identified Functional Impairment is caused by the qualifying SMI diagnosis and not other conditions or stressors, such as: Substance Use, Head Injury or TBI, Chronic Pain, Autism, Intellectual Impairment, Eating Disorder, Antisocial Personality Disorder, Conduct Disorder, ADHD, Adjustment Disorder, Incarceration/Legal Issues, etc.

Functional Decision Making: The Psychologist’s Approach cont. If there is a history of substance abuse, we look for evidence of symptoms in periods of sustained sobriety and persistence of Functional Impairment during those periods EEP may be an option if there is ongoing substance use and criteria are not clearly supported

Functional Decision Making Final Thoughts Clearly document areas of functioning and include details on: housing, ADLs, ILS, DTS/DTO history, employment hx, schooling and parenting duties if applicable, and risk factors. Indicate how the impairment is linked to an SMI diagnosis, for the required timeframe Indicate whether other diagnoses or factors may impact areas of functioning

Diagnostic Documentation Guide

Diagnostic Decision Making: The Psychologist's Approach We are looking for evidence and documentation to support an SMI qualifying diagnosis We use DSM-V criteria, as well as clinical expertise and judgment Clear, objective, thorough, and cohesive documentation is key!

Decision Making, cont. We look for documentation of the individual’s symptoms, to include onset, duration, and frequency of symptoms or episodes. We look for examples, quotes, and observations, not simply a list of DSM-V criteria. We review mental status exams and whether that is consistent with the symptoms reported We look for information across records to help us determine if an SMI diagnosis is supported or if another diagnosis may better explain the person’s symptoms, behaviors, and presentation.

Decision Making, cont. We also review: Treatment history (IP, OP) and medications Substance abuse history Family history of mental illness and suicide Hx of suicide attempts or self-injurious behaviors Situational Stressors possibly impacting their symptoms Physical or other health conditions that may be associated with psychiatric sx

Documentation We have access to: It’s all about the documentation! Previous determinations CRN Crisis Notes (if present) Records received from ROI Provider records It’s all about the documentation! You are our eyes and ears We know you understand SMI criteria based on staffings – we just need it reflected in the documentation

Summary of Diagnostic Decision Making Are the proposed diagnoses consistent with the information provided? Why or why not? There must be at least one SMI qualifying diagnosis in which the symptoms documented are consistent with the diagnostic criteria and information in the assessment and records Include specific examples of symptoms, behaviors, quotes, and observations. This includes type, onset, frequency, duration, and severity Include a psychiatric eval and other clinical records to assist in the decision making

Incarceration Considerations

Incarceration Considerations Individuals may be assessed while incarcerated, while awaiting sentencing, while under Rule 11, or while awaiting release from jail or prison Include jail or prison records, Rule 11 evals if applicable, and contact information for clinical jail staff

Incarceration Considerations Documentation: Include the reason for referral (clinical staff, lawyer, self-referral, etc) Include date of incarceration, charges, date of hearing or release, and other relevant data related to the incarceration or past arrests Include treatment details while incarcerated Medications, suicide watch history, therapy, etc Include similar information regarding diagnoses and areas of functioning as other evaluations

Documentation Continued… Indicate whether symptoms may be due to situational stressors (such as depressed mood or anxiety due to incarceration), other factors (substance use, antisocial personality, etc) or whether there is clear evidence of an SMI diagnosis Indicate whether their functional impairment is due to an SMI diagnosis as opposed to other diagnoses or factors (such as difficulty finding housing or employment due to felony history)

SMI Determination Form Follow the same instructions on how to complete the SMI determination form If you do not have enough documentation to support the diagnostic or functional criteria, indicate this on the form and only check the boxes that you have support for.
