FORM UPDATE SUMMARY
In addition to the updates above, the following list provides a summary of the updates made to Forms incorporated by reference:
Form DC6-2087
1. The language in the instructions section of the form has been changed to remove duplicative language associated with the receipt of a disciplinary report. This language is now included in the change to the definition of “critical event.” The new instructions language within the form reads as follows:
Instructions: Risk assessment for inpatient treatment is to be completed on each inmate (after review of record) as follows – initial within three business days of CSU admission and seven business days of CMHTF or TCU admission, every 90 days thereafter, and within three business days of an occurrence of a critical event. The original is to be filed in the classification file, a copy provided to the RAT leader, and a copy in the inpatient record in the “Other Documents” section.
