As a result a new CP intake was made for this allegation based on predatory offender statute to screen in as 24 hour face to face. At this time, the track changed to a CP Family Investigation from Assessment. \r\no\tStaff's perspective is that either intake\/screening can open a new workgroup or can refer to current workgroup when the same worker is assigned to a case. \r\n\u00ef\u201a\u00a7\tWorker flips response tracks from assessment to investigation if new allegation is a 24 hour response. \r\no\tIntake protocol is to refer new intakes to current worker even if their workgroup has been open for longer than 45 days.\r\n\u00ef\u201a\u00a7\tReports came in near 45 day case closure timeline, however closing a case in the 45 day timeframe was not priority. \r\n\u00ef\u201a\u00a7\tStaff had to keep the workgroup active and open beyond 45 days due to the nature of how information was learned and evolved over time. \r\n\u00ef\u201a\u00a7\tObtaining records from out of state about the egregious harm\/ predatory offender went over 45 day timeline. \r\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\tPractice is for the case\/family stay with the original worker on the case and document under one workgroup versus document in two workgroups. \r\no\tAvoid having to document same information in duplicate workgroups for the family and maximizing time more efficiently to keep all together in one workgroup.\r\no\tKeeping same worker with the family for all new intakes is viewed as a strength of continuity of care and being client focused. The preference to keep the same families with staff that they are working with or have worked with in the past due to rapport and working relationship established.","created_by":81,"updated_by":81,"updated_at":"5\/26\/2021 1:24:46 pm","created_at":"5\/26\/2021 1:24:46 pm","id":33852}
