10 Colo. Code Regs. § 2505-10-8.404

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 10, May 30, 2024
Section 10 CCR 2505-10-8.404 - ADMISSION CRITERIA: PROGRAMS FOR THE DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED
8.404.1 Clients needing ICF/IID level of care are those who:
A. Require aggressive and consistent training to develop, enhance or maintain skills for independence (e.g., on-going reliance on supervision, guidance, support and reassurance); or
B. Are generally unable to apply skills learned in training situations to other settings and environments; or
C. Generally cannot take care of most personal care needs, cannot make basic needs known to others, and cannot understand simple commands, (e.g., requires assistance or prompts in bathing and/or dressing, neglects to wear protective clothing, does not interact appropriately with others, speaks in muffled/unclear manner, fails to take medications correctly, confuses values of coins, spends money inappropriately); or
D. Are unable to work at a competitive wage level without support, (e.g., specially trained managers, job coach, or wage supplements) and are unable to engage appropriately in social interactions (e.g., alienates peers by teasing, arguing or being cruel, does not make decisions); or
E. Are unable to conduct themselves appropriately when allowed to have time away from the facility's premises (e.g., loses self-control when s/he cannot get what s/he wants, performs destructive acts, unsafe crossing streets or following safety signs) or
F. Have behaviors that would put self or others at risk for psychological or physical injury.
.11 Clients needing placement in an ICF/IID are those who require an active treatment program. An active treatment program is defined as the aggressive, consistent implementation of a program of specialized and generic training, treatment, health services and related services that is directed toward:
A. The acquisition of the behaviors necessary for the client to function with as much self-determination and independence as possible; and
B. The prevention or deceleration of regression or loss of current optimal functional status.
8.404.2 CONTINUED STAY REVIEW CRITERIA: PROGRAMS FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH INTELLECTUAL OR DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES

Same as admission criteria unless the individual needs the help of an ICF/IID to continue to function independently because s/he has learned to depend upon the programmatic structure it provides. The fact that s/he is not yet independent, even though s/he can be, makes it appropriate for s/he to receive active treatment services directed at achieving needed and possible independence.

8.404.3 Adherence to the following sections of CDPHE and/or Department of Health Care Policy and Financing rules and regulations are critical to the provision of active treatment and active habilitation:
A. Assessments
B. Individual habilitation plans
C. Individual program plans
D. Community integration
E. Independence training
F. Behavior management
G. Psychotropic medication use

For individuals needing placement in the ICF/IID facility, a list of specific services or interventions needed in order to make progress must be provided.
