INTRODUCTION

We conducted a compliance audit of the Center as required by the Illinois State Auditing Act. We also performed certain agreed upon procedures with respect to the accounting records of the Center to assist our single audit of the entire Department. Financial statements for the Department will be presented in that report.

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

PATIENT TREATMENT PLANS NOT UPDATED TIMELY

The Center did not update patient treatment plans in a timely manner as required by statute.

We reviewed thirty patient files to determine if the patient's treatment plan was prepared and updated timely. We noted that eight were not updated within thirty days, and two patient files did not include a treatment plan. The Department of Human Services Code (405 ILCS 5/3-209) requires that treatment plans be prepared within three days of a patient's admission and be updated as the clinical condition warrants, but not less than every thirty days (Finding 1, page 11).

Center management agreed with our recommendation to implement procedures to ensure compliance.
