Section 4210.23 - Relationship to resources not under the direct jurisdiction of the local authorities

It is important that movement of the patient between the services of the county program and other resources including those of the State must not result in a fragmentation of services or in an interruption of the continuity of care for the patient. It is the responsibility of the base service unit to develop a comprehensive treatment plan taking into consideration available resources. In order to carry out these responsibilities and ensure continuity of care for the patient, each base service unit shall designate at least one staff member to maintain the necessary liaison with other resources providing services to patients from the base service unit area.
