Public Act 100-1111 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning State government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Mental Health and Developmental | ||||
Disabilities Administrative Act is amended by changing Section | ||||
53 as follows:
| ||||
(20 ILCS 1705/53) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 100-53)
| ||||
Sec. 53.
The Department shall create a consistent case | ||||
coordination system
for persons with a developmental | ||||
disability who receive services provided or
funded by the | ||||
Department. The objectives of this system shall be to ensure | ||||
that
a full range of an individual's needs is identified and | ||||
assessed through
statewide use of an individual client | ||||
assessment tool; to ensure that each
individual actually | ||||
receives, in the most effective and efficient combination
and | ||||
sequence, the full range and continuum of services needed; to | ||||
ensure that
all available resources are applied appropriately | ||||
to each individual served;
and to provide a systematic | ||||
procedure for serving individuals which generates
among and | ||||
within the local service delivery agencies information | ||||
required for
effective system management.
| ||||
Each individual residing in a community integrated living | ||||
arrangement shall receive an annual assessment to screen that |
individual for any health issues or risks. Beginning July 1, | ||
2019, each individual shall receive his or her annual client | ||
assessment via a web-based, electronic screening tool. The | ||
electronic screening tool shall replace the current | ||
paper-based assessment. A provider may make a request, along | ||
with justifications, to the Department to complete the | ||
assessment on paper. Subject to appropriation, the Department | ||
may contract with a third-party entity to create and implement | ||
the web-based, electronic screening tool. The Department shall | ||
make changes to its rules in the Illinois Administrative Code | ||
to incorporate a web-based, electronic assessment tool. | ||
"Case coordination" means a mechanism for linking and | ||
coordinating segments
of the service delivery system to ensure | ||
the most comprehensive program
for meeting an individual | ||
client's needs. It facilitates client movement
through an array | ||
of services so that at any given time, services received are
| ||
matched to the needs of the individual.
