Plan of Correction
Therapists are provided case reports bi-weekly of treatment plan dates by the D&A Supervisor. Therapists also have access to these reports at any time via the EHR overview.



The Chief Compliance Officer will review and assure that SPU's are completed in a timely manner while she conducts the D&A Audits. Random D&A Audits are completed on a monthly basis.



Community Guidance Center is working on implementing a new treatment plan in the electronic health record which will provide warnings to the therapist when the treatment plan is about to expire to avoid late treatment plans by January 2nd, 2026.
