Agency Setup Basic Model

1. There are three points of reference to be kept in mind while making decisions about agency, facility, and program setup:

a). The clinical process that a client goes through and related records maintenance and sharing.

b). The access definitions for staff members that allow them to view and/or edit client records.

c). The cumulative reports to be generated.

This section of the tipsheet addresses the first issue that is related to the clinical process and related records that are created and used by different staff and members of the agency.

It is important to understand the basic structure of the clinical process and related records as they have been setup in the system.

2. The Client Profile is created when a new client is entered at an agency. This Client Profile is created at the Agency level, this means that there can be only one Client Profile per Agency.

Note: Please review your current clinical practice, clinical process, setup, and requirements to assess what works best for you. These models are flexible and can accommodate various scenarios and needs.

2. The client Intake, Assessments, Admission, Treatment Plan, and Discharge are entered at the Facility level, meaning:

a) The record physically resides at the Facility level where the Intake was first created followed by other clinical records such as Assessments, Admission, Treatment Plan, and Discharge.

b) There is one Intake, Admission, and Treatment Plan per client for this Facility that is shared by different programs under this Facility.

c) The same client can have open Admission records at different facilities at the same time at the same Agency but they cannot have multiple admissions at the same Facility.

d) The treatment episode is defined as beginning with Admission and ending with Discharge. A client can have multiple episodes at the same facility as long as one episode is completed with a Discharge before a new one is started.

3. Enrollment of a client, treatment goals within a treatment plan, and specific individual service encounters are tied to a program, meaning:

a) A client can be enrolled in multiple programs at the same time or at different times within the same treatment episode.

b) There is no need for a discharge record to be completed for a client to transition from one program to another program.

c) There is a beginning and end of enrollment for each program and the client can be discharged only after an end of enrollment has been recorded for all programs in which the client was enrolled.

d) A client can be enrolled in a program at another facility within the same provider agency. However, the record technically resides in the facility where the Intake was completed.

Agency List

14. Overview: A new provider agency is created in the system by a BGR or ADAA SMART administrator. Each new provider agency is created with minimal information about the name of the agency, display name, agency type, county, and address. The SMART Liaison at the agency will then take the initial responsibility for the additional agency, facility, program and staff setup. As part of the initial setup, a login is created for the SMART Liaison which is the first entry point for the provider agency to access the system. Upon receipt of the SMART Liaison he/she can then add and revise all information within the agency modules including setting up all other staff and their access to the system.

15. To access the Agency modules in SMART click Agency from the Left Menu Toolbar. A list of all Agency Sub-Modules are listed under Agency in the Left Toolbar Menu and a list of the Agencies you have access to in the Agency List on the right which is usually only your own agency.

Note: Under the Agency menu, it is only required that the Agency Profile and address are completed. All other items in that menu are for the convenience of a provider agency and optional to the functioning of the system.

16. To edit the Agency Profile click the Agency Profile menu item or click the Review hyperlink under Actions next to the appropriate agency.
