Section 859-200-0205 - Board Order for Evaluation for Conditional Release

(1) All inpatient and outpatient community evaluations must be approved by the Board.

(2) At any time the state hospital may request a community evaluation for community placement of the person. Prior to any such request, hospital staff shall consult with the Board's Executive Director to discuss current bed vacancies. Unlike other civil commitments, the community mental health agency of the commitment county does not identify and approve conditional release placements. All community placements are approved by the Board and its Executive Director.

(3) The request for community placement should identify the community provider and should be accompanied by an updated VRA (Violence Risk Assessment), START (Short Term Assessment of Risk and Treatability), Risk Review Hearing report that addresses conditional release planning privileges, and an updated M.D. Progress Note Update.

(4) If a person is already on conditional release, the PSRB case manager may request that another community provider evaluate the person for possible transfer.

(5) The Board may then consider the request and issue an Order of Evaluation at an administrative review.

(6) Once the Order for Evaluation is signed, PSRB staff will send an exhibit file to the community provider conducting the evaluation within 10 business days; and

(7) The community evaluation report shall be completed within 30 days of the community evaluation interview; and

(8) The community evaluation shall be completed and submitted to the Board within 45 days of receipt of the signed Order for Evaluation.
