Based on medical record review and interviews, the facility failed to provide Social Work Assessments that met professional social work standards. These assessments failed to include individualized treatment recommendations that described anticipated social work roles during inpatient treatment for three (3) of eight (8) randomly sampled patients (A1, A5, and A8). In addition, three (3) of the eight (8) sampled patients' social work assessments (A2, A4, and A7) listed patient treatment goals instead of treatment recommendations. This failure has the potential to result in a lack of professional social work treatment services and/or a lack of input to the treatment team to assist in the care of the patient during hospitalizations.
Findings include:
A. Medical Records
1. Patient A1's Psychosocial Assessment (facility entitled "Child/Adolescent Assessment") dated 5/3/19, Patient A5's Psychosocial Assessment dated 3/7/19, and Patient A8's Psychosocial Assessment dated 5/3/19, in the Section, "Treatment Recommendations/Assessment Needs", all three had listed only the check box labeled "To Begin in This" with no interventions/recommendations for treatment listed.

Based on medical record review, policy review and interview, the facility failed to provide treatment plans that identified patient-related, short-term goals (STGs) in observable and behavioral terms for eight of eight sample patients (Patients A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, and A8) and had identical STGs for three (3) of eight (8) sample patients. (Patients A1, A5, and A8) Specifically, the treatment plans contained one (1) or two (2) STGs for the only listed problem (the patient's diagnosis) for all eight patients. All eight (8) patients had one STG that focused on the use of the Beck Youth Inventories (second edition), which measures severity of Depression and several other categories including Anxiety and Disruptive Behavior. This inventory was completed by the patient on admission and again at discharge, and even though the admission results were known during the patient assessment phase, the results were not used to set goals or design individual treatment interventions. In addition, it was impossible to determine the patients' progress toward the short-term goal since the inventory was not measured again until discharge. This failure to address individual needs in the treatment plan has the potential to hinder the ability of the treatment team to measure change in the patient as a result of treatment intervention this and may contribute to failure of the team to modify plans in response to patient needs, as well as to patient stays beyond the resolution of the behaviors requiring admission.
Findings Include:
A. Medical Records
1. Patient A1 was admitted on 5/3/19. The Psychiatric Evaluation dated 5/3/19, revealed that the patient was admitted for suicidal ideation with an unsuccessful attempt. The treatment plan, called the Individualized Service Plan (ISP), dated 5/3/19, listed for the problems, "Oppositional defiant disorder" and "Bipolar ll disorder." The short-term goal (STG) was "Patient will reduce symptoms of depression and self-harming behaviors so youth can be safe at home, community, and school. Measurement of progress will be evidenced by BDI-Y [Beck Depression Inventory-Youth] score upon admission 49 (moderate depression) to a score of 39 or less (low depression)." A second short-term goal for the same problem stated, "Patient will reduce symptoms of depression and mania so youth can be safe at the home, community, and school. Measurement of progress will be evidenced by identifying at least 5 positive coping skills to help successfully manage depression, suicidal ideations/attempts and self-injurious behaviors." This STG was identical to the STG goal for two other patients (A5 and A8).
2. Patient A2 was admitted on 5/2/19. The Psychiatric Evaluation, dated 5/3/19, revealed that the patient was admitted due to depression and suicidal ideation. The ISP, dated 5/3/19, did not list any problems in the problem section, but did document one short-term goal which stated, "Patient will reduce symptoms of depression and self-harming behaviors so youth can be safe at home, community, and school. Measurement of progress will be evidenced by BDI ll [Beck Depression Inventory second edition] score upon admission 70 (severe depression) to a score of 60 or less."
3. Patient A3 was admitted on 5/3/19. The Psychiatric Evaluation dated 5/6/19, revealed that the patient was admitted due to experiencing suicidal ideation with multiple plans. The ISP, dated 5/3/19, listed for the problem, "Major depressive disorder, recurrent episode, severe, with psychosis," and the short-term goal, "Patient will reduce symptoms of depression and self-harming behaviors so youth can be safe at home, community, and school. Measurement of progress will be evidenced by BDBI-Y [Beck Disruptive Behavior Inventory Category-Youth] score upon admission 91 (moderate depression) to a score of lower depression."
4. Patient A4 was admitted on 5/1/19. The Psychiatric Evaluation dated 5/4/19, revealed that the patient was admitted due to suicidal ideation with a plan to kill him/herself with a knife. The ISP dated 5/2/19, listed for the problem, "Major depressive disorder, recurrent severe without psychotic features," the short-term goal, "Patient will reduce symptoms of depression and self-harming behaviors so youth can be safe at home, community, and school. Measurement of progress will be evidenced by BDI ll score upon admission 69 (severe depression) to a score of 50 or less."
5. Patient A5 was admitted on 5/1/19. The Psychiatric Evaluation, dated 5/4/19, revealed that the patient was admitted for suicidal ideation, cutting his/her arms, and running away from the group home. The ISP, dated 5/2/19, listed for the problem, "Major depressive disorder, recurrent severe without psychotic features," and the short-term goal, "Patient will reduce symptoms of depression and self-harming behaviors so youth can be safe at home, community, and school. Measurement of progress will be evidenced by BDI-Y score upon admission 75 (severe depression) to a score of 65 or less (moderate depression)." A second short-term goal for the same problem stated, "Patient will reduce symptoms of depression and mania so youth can be safe at the home, community, and school. Measurement of progress will be evidenced by identifying at least 5 positive coping skills to help successfully manage depression, suicidal ideations/attempts and self-injurious behaviors." This STG was identical to the STG goal for two other patients (A1 and A8).
6. Patient A6 was admitted on 4/30/19. The Psychiatric Evaluation, dated 5/3/19, revealed that the patient was admitted for self-harm and suicidal ideation.

Measurement of progress will be evidenced by BDBI-Y score upon admission 86 (moderate depression) to a score of lower depression."
7. Patient A7 was admitted on 4/30/19. The Psychiatric Evaluation, dated 5/1/19, revealed that the patient was admitted for suicidal threats. The ISP, dated 5/1/19, listed for the problem, "Major depressive disorder, recurrent severe without psychotic features," and the short-term goal, "Patient will reduce symptoms of depression and self-harming behaviors so youth can be safe at home, community, and school. Measurement of progress will be evidenced by BDI ll score upon admission 66 (severe depression) to a score of 55 or less."
8. Patient A8 was admitted on 5/3/19. The Psychiatric Evaluation, dated 5/4/19, revealed that the patient was admitted for threatening to kill him/herself by sticking a fork in an electrical outlet. The ISP, dated 5/3/19, listed for the problem, "Major depressive disorder, recurrent severe without psychotic features," and the short-term goal, "Patient will reduce symptoms of depression and self-harming behaviors so youth can be safe at home, community, and school. Measurement of progress will be evidenced by BAI-Y [Beck Anxiety Inventory Category-Youth] score upon admission 77 (severe depression) to a score of 66 or less."(moderate depression)." A second short-term goal for the same problem stated, "Patient will reduce symptoms of depression and mania so youth can be safe at the home, community, and school. Measurement of progress will be evidenced by identifying at least 5 positive coping skills to help successfully manage depression, suicidal ideations/attempts and self-injurious behaviors." This STG was identical to the STG goal for two other patients (A1 and A5).
B. Policy Review
Facility policy entitled, "Planning Care, Treatment and Services," revised 6/18/15, stated that the "Individualized Service Plan (ISP)," should include goals, " ...based on behaviors that a patient must improve upon in order to facilitate movement to a less restrictive environment," and " ...will be determined on an individual specific basis."
C. Interviews
1. In an interview on 5/7/19 at 10:00 a.m., the Clinical Director acknowledged that the Beck Inventory provided little in designing individual treatment interventions and progress towards a decrease in score was impossible to measure until the time of discharge.
2. In an interview on 5/7/19 at 3:30 p.m., the Director of Quality Improvement agreed that some patients had identical short-term goals and that they could not measure progress toward the STG related to scores on the Beck Inventory until the patient was ready for discharge.

Based on medical record review, policy review, and interview the Medical Director failed to ensure:
I. The provision of a psychiatric evaluation that was completed within 60 hours admission for one of eight hospital records (Patient A3). This practice has the potential to delay the initiation of diagnosis and treatment and deprives the treatment team of clinical date necessary to begin an initial plan of care. (Refer to B111)
II. The provision of treatment plans that identified patient-related, short-term goals (STGs) in observable and behavioral terms for eight of eight sample patients (Patients A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, and A8). In addition there were identical STGs for three of eight sample patients. (Patients A1, A5, and A8) Specifically, the treatment plans contained one or two STGs for the only listed problem (the patient's diagnosis) for all eight patients. All eight patients had one STG that focused on the use of the Beck Youth Inventories (second edition) which measures severity of depression and several other categories including Anxiety and Disruptive Behavior.
