LOCUS P.A.S. "Clinical Reporter"

"Are you ever asked to support your level of care recommendation?" If so, the Clinical Reporter can make this task easy. This is the software version of the Level of Care Utilization System for Psychiatric and Addiction Services and developed by members of the AACP. It automatically scores and determines a level of care recommendation for the patient. LOCUS P.A.S. assesses client needs according to six Dimensions.

  1. Risk of Harm/Dangerousness

  2. Medical, Addictive, and Psychiatric Co-Morbidity

  3. Treatment Recovery History

  4. Functional Status

  5. Recovery Environment

    • Stress

    • Support

  6. Attitude and Engagement

It includes descriptions of unique LOCUS levels of care and service arrays as well as placement criteria.

Call today to learn about the "Clinical Reporter."
