For a facility providing emergency care services, please clarify the documents needed to meet all standards. Can some of these documents be combined if all elements are addressed?
All documentation requirements apply unless the subchapter (e.g., Subchapter U regarding therapeutic camp services) or the specific rule (e.g., 748.1217, see subsection (e)) does not apply to emergency care services. Any documentation requirements can be combined as long as the combined document meets required time frames and content for what you are combining. Emergency care service programs are not exempted from service planning requirements if the child remains in care long enough to reach the time frames.
