Rule 5122-41-03 | PRTF admission criteria, admissions, and discharges.
(A) The PRTF will develop its admission criteria and assure that it has the staff and resources available to meet the needs of referred youths who fit its admission criteria. Admission criteria includes attention to:
(1) Age.
(2) Gender.
(3) Behaviors the PRTF will treat, which includes treating aggressive individuals.
(4) Exclusionary behaviors or diagnoses that the PRTF will not have the capacity to treat, if any, e.g. sexualized behaviors or eating disorders.
(B) PRTF will admit a youth when the need for PRTF has been determined and the youth meets the PRTFs written admission criteria in conjunction with the youth's OhioRISE care coordination and child and family team.
(C) The PRTF will maintain a staff hiring and on-going staff development system (which may include training by entities external to the PRTF) to assure staff have sufficient competencies to address the needs of the youth described in the PRTFs admission criteria.
(D) The PRTF will not initiate a transition of a youth prior to completion of successful treatment, as defined in individual plan of care, unless the age criteria set in paragraph (D)(3) of rule 5122-41-01 of the Administrative Code has been exceeded, including if the youth temporarily leaves the PRTF for admission to a hospital for medical or psychiatric care for up to three days per event, unless the youth is transferred to another PRTF that can better meet the youths treatment needs. This does not permit a PRTF to refuse to discharge a youth when the legal custodian has requested discharge.
(E) There will be documented evidence of active, individualized transition planning in conjunction with the youth's OhioRISE care coordination and child and family team.
