Universal Citation: 8 NM Admin Code 8.371.7.30

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024

A. An ITP quality assurance review meeting shall be held within 30 - 45 days prior to the placement date specified in the ITP. The purpose of this meeting is to assure that the ITP is being successfully implemented, assigned responsibilities have been or are being met and that activities are appropriately accomplished in preparation for the community placement. Participants at the ITPQA review meeting are the same TIDT members, including designated representatives, who were responsible for the development of the ITP. The Jackson transition representative (JTR) is responsible for documenting activities at this meeting. Activities occurring at this meeting include:

(1) review of ITP objectives that occur prior to placement and their implementation status;

(2) confirm accomplishment or initiation of tasks by TIDT members;

(3) amendments to the ITP, if required, due to failure to implement objectives or a change in the individual's circumstances;

(4) confirm identity of housemates, staff and others;

(5) confirm cross-over training agenda, participants and schedule with the facility;

(6) describe and plan activities of the actual transition day, including responsible parties and times;

(7) recommend a change in placement date, if required, to assure a successful transition;

(8) finalization of the waiver plan of care: The case manager shall obtain signatures on the completed approved plan of care, based upon the approved cost proposals.

B. The TIDT may review the placement date and recommend a change or extension beyond the 228 day placement requirement; however, changing the originally established placement date requires authorization of the Jackson coordinator. Such authorization shall only be given upon evidence of extraordinary circumstances, a judicial stay order or other due process activity.

C. Within two working days following the ITPQA review meeting, the case manager shall submit the completed plan of care with original signatures to the community programs bureau (CPB).

D. In addition to the regularly scheduled ITPQA review meeting, described above, the case manager may, in extraordinary circumstances, reconvene the TIDT, in person or by teleconference if planning activity time lines fall behind schedule, the implementation of the ITP is in jeopardy, or the ITP requires significant modification, such as substitution of a key community service provider. In the case of such reconvened TIDT meetings, the assigned Jackson transition representative (JTR) will not attend the meeting, and the case manager shall be responsible for documenting the amendments to the ITP that are developed. Amendments should be distributed, in a hand-written form, to all TIDT members and designated representatives at the conclusion of the meeting, if xerox capabilities are available.
