Under the ANSA model, how frequently should service plans be formally reviewed and updated at a minimum?
Answer: At least every 90 days or sooner if there is a significant change in status
Best practice in ANSA-driven systems calls for formal plan reviews at least quarterly, or more often when circumstances change significantly.
A care coordinator is helping an individual prioritize which needs to address first in the service plan. The ANSA rating that most urgently demands inclusion in the plan is:
Answer: Rating 3 – need is disabling or creating dangerous situations
A rating of 3 indicates a disabling or dangerous need requiring immediate attention and should be the highest-priority item in the service plan.
Which of the following best describes 'interagency coordination' within ANSA-based service planning?
Answer: Structured collaboration among multiple service providers guided by the individual's integrated service plan
Interagency coordination in ANSA systems involves structured, consent-based collaboration so multiple providers work from a shared plan.
An individual's ANSA shows a strength rating of 1 in 'family involvement.' How should the care coordinator use this in service planning?
Answer: Build on this emerging strength by formally incorporating family involvement into the plan
A strength rating of 1 indicates a useful but not yet fully utilized strength that should be developed and incorporated into the service plan.
Which scenario BEST illustrates a failure in ANSA-guided service coordination?
Answer: Two providers each create separate plans without knowledge of each other's services
Duplicate, uncoordinated plans from multiple providers are a core failure the ANSA coordination model is designed to prevent.
When an individual declines a recommended service identified through the ANSA, the care coordinator should:
Answer: Document the individual's decision and explore alternatives that align with their preferences
Respecting individual self-determination is a cornerstone of ANSA planning; declining a service should prompt collaborative problem-solving, not punitive action.
In ANSA service planning, the term 'level of care' refers to:
Answer: The intensity and type of services matched to the individual's assessed need profile
Level of care in ANSA planning means matching service intensity (outpatient, intensive outpatient, residential, etc.) to the individual's specific ANSA-identified need profile.
