Life Event Note for Pregnancy and Postpartum Intervention Services (PPI)

A new note type, Life Event Note (LEN), has been added to CMBHS primarily for use by Case Managers at PPI locations. This new note replaces a manual process and allows PPI programs to document important information about a client’s delivery and newborn.

 

Roles: The CMBHS roles of Case Manager, Clinical Data Entry, Clinical Supervisor, Clinician, Nurse, Paraprofessional, Paraprofessional Supervisor, Security Administrator, and Student Intern have Read-Write access to this note type.

Rules for the Life Event Note:

·         the only pre-requisite prior to completion of a LEN is for a Client Profile;

o   the Client Profile must have a date that is prior to the date of the LEN;

·         the LEN can be documented for all client types (male, female, adult or youth);

·         one or more LENs can be created for a client on the same date;

·         the Service Date field will auto-populate with today’s date but can be changed by the user;

·         the number entered for “How many live births occurring during this delivery” must match the number entered for “Child Information” count.

·         The LEN has two (2) document statuses: Draft and Closed Complete.

o   Draft status: The LEN can only be edited in Draft status. More than 1 LEN can be saved in Draft status but users should ensure they are not creating duplicate notes.

·         the Print and Attachment features for the LEN are active and work the same as on other CMBHS pages. 

·         blank LEN forms are available under the Data menu item at the top of each page of CMBHS, under Print Blank Forms.

·         the LEN can be shared with other providers by using the existing Notes checkbox on the Consent document. 

 

User Instructions to document a Life Event Note:

·         log into a CMBHS Prevention/Intervention location that provides Pregnancy and Postpartum Intervention (PPI) services;

·         begin by either going to Find/New Client in the left menu, opening the Client Workspace, selecting Service Documentation and then LEN or from the Case Manager Work Space selecting the client from your Caseload list and selecting LEN;

·         complete all the required fields and then select Save.

Substance Use Disorder Service Providers

Long Term Services and Supports (LTSS) Application Changes

 

A new version of the LTSS Terms of Use (TOU) document will be published on June 30, 2018 in electronic and paper form. All DADS, DSHS, and HHSC personnel and contracted vendor and provider staff that are part of the LTSS business process will be required to use the new TOU document when interacting with public citizens seeking services. Workers should only use new long version of the TOU when reading the TOU to public citizens.

 

A project team was assembled in March 2018 using the Access and Eligibility Services (AES) IT Governance process to coordinate an enhancement to the LTSS application functionality and update the TOU language that public citizens sign to indicate they understand how HHS will use the information they provide when seeking services they may be eligible for. The enhancement will alter functionality to allow screening and referral information to be viewed by certain HHS and contracted vendor staff after the TOU expiration date. The changes will go into effect on June 30, 2018.

 

The new TOU version will be reflected in the Your Texas Benefits mobile application and https://yourtexasbenefits.com website, the LTSS worker portal, and impact the DSHS Clinical Management for Behavioral Health Services (CMBHS) business processes. The new TOU is available in English and Spanish language versions. The TOU changes will apply when interacting with clients in person and over the telephone.
