Phone conference notes for Tuesday, October 16, 2012:
1. Ideas about how to keep an initial service plan concise and thorough.
- Think about the who, what, where, when, and what’s going on
- Think about short- and long-term goals for the member
- Mention the reason for the referral/primary reason for visit, challenges with ADLs, and identify next steps for SC and member
2. Thoughts/questions about the HUD Semi-Annual Report- Anecdotes vs. “trends.”
- Submit one semi-annual report per SC; one logic model per co-op
- Logic model will be submitted in an alternate method; SCs can get started on the logic model by hand
- Anecdotes are fine to submit; please ensure confidentiality. If you have questions about this, Rachel is happy to discuss with you.
- Trends are also appropriate. If you are entering a trend, the entry date should be the last day of the reporting period (9/28/12).
- Snail mail the printed report to HUD
3. Questions about taking paid time off (PTO), sick time, and SC coverage.
- For PTO for SCs with multiple SCs on site please discuss with your fellow SC to maintain 1 SC per co-op, when possible, prior to submitting PTO request form to Rachel.
- For solitary SCs, submit PTO request form to Rachel
- Substitute SC coverage is necessary for SCs who plan to be out of the office longer than 1 week.
- Please let your Council and Liaison know if your scheduled vacation time.
- PTO and sick time are pooled in one bank. In the event that an SC is sick, text or call Rachel at the beginning of the day and retroactively submit your PTO request form once you return to the office.
4. AASC online service log subcategories-benefits/entitlements/insurance
5. Next SC conference call is scheduled for 11/1/12 at 12:30 pm. Ann will be joining us. Please bring ideas for future professional development workshops.
