Probation Officer Advisory Board Update

The case plan application by JTAC about 80% complete. It will be similar to the risk assessment in Incite. Some items set by the State and cannot be changed and some objectives controlled by local government. It is not mandated at this time to use this case plan system. The next focus will be confidentiality – who can have access to what information. Goal is to pilot in the Fall and rollout in 2016. Unsure how much functioning with Odyssey. The case plan format - IRAS/IYAS domains will match a goal with strategies and targeted interventions (offering drop downs and free text applications). PSI changes – consult with Community Corrections Departments. Check boxes will be added. Discussion. Confidentiality – document on file showing why information was filed on green paper. Due to Administrative Rule #9 this will now print out with the PSI. HB 1001, Mitigating Factor – the following will be added; person has PTSD, TBI or post-concussive brain injury.
