GLOSSARY

Closed case - is when the advocate/attorney closes the client record or case file after providing advocacy interventions on behalf of a client, and determining that the client either has no need of further intervention services or that the agency has no other services available to address the issue(s) or complaint(s) for which the case was initially opened.

Grievance Procedures – are policies and procedures developed by the P&A system to ensure that its clients and prospective PAIMI-eligible clients, their family members, or representatives have full access to the system services and that the system is fully compliant with the provisions of the PAIMI Act and Rules.

Information and Referral (I&R) Services - is the provision of brief written or oral information, such as generic information about the P&A, including information about additional programs and resources external to the P&A that relate to the individual’s service needs and statutory or constitutional rights as a person with a disability. I &R services are generally of short duration, typically range from a few minutes to an hour, do not involve direct advocacy intervention by staff, and any type of staff follow-up. I &R services may include mailing generic agency information. Individuals receiving I &R services are not counted as PAIMI clients.

Intervention Strategies:

• Abuse/Neglect Investigations - a systemic and thorough examination of information, records, evidence and circumstances surrounding an allegation of abuse and neglect. Investigations are undertaken to determine if there is a basis for administrative or legal action on behalf of the client. Investigations require a significant allocation of time to interview witnesses, gather factual information, and to issue a written report of findings.

• Administrative Remedies - includes the use of any systems for appeal within an agency or facility, or between agencies, which does not involve adjudication by a court of law.

• Legal Remedies - the legal representation of clients in litigation in court processes concerned with rights, grievances, or appeals of such rights or grievances.

• Legislative/Regulatory Advocacy activities involve monitoring, evaluating, and commenting upon the development and implementation of Federal, State, and local laws, regulations, plans, budgets, taxes and other actions which may affect individuals with mental illness. [The PAIMI Rules at 42 FCR at 51.24 mandates that legislative activities shall also be addressed in the development of program priorities].

• Negotiation/Mediation - is a informal, non-legal intervention by a PAIMI representative, attorney or case manager used to resolve problems with facility staff or other agency representatives; (does not involve a formal appeal).

• Short Term Assistance - Time limited advice and counseling assistance, which may include reviewing information, counseling a client on actions one may take, and assisting the client in preparing letters, documents or making telephone calls to resolve the issue.

• Technical Assistance - includes the provision of information, referral or advice to clients by a PAIMI Program representative, attorney, or advocate, (e.g., coaching the client in self-advocacy, explaining service delivery system(s) available to meet needs, dissemination of information and materials to client, etc.). Follow-up is required.

Objectives - are activities undertaken to achieve annual program priorities (goals). All objectives required to have measurable outcomes and the use of numerical targets is encouraged. Each objective must clearly state why the activity was undertaken, who will benefit from the objective (the target population), how the activity will be accomplished, and what is the expected outcome for the activity? Generally, with the exception of litigation, legislative or regulatory activities, objectives shall be attainable within the fiscal reporting period (within one (1) fiscal year).

Open Case - is when a PAIMI-eligible individual with a complaint is accepted as a client by the P&A system. A case record or case file is opened for that individual. System staff maintain all intervention services provided to the client and other information t are maintained in this case record/file.

Outreach - is an activity that targets information on PAIMI Program activities to specific populations (e.g., cultural, ethnic and racial minorities, and other underserved or un-served populations, etc. The activity is linked to an objective of a specific annual priority.

PAIMI Clients (for purposes of this report) - are individuals who meet the PAIMI eligibility criteria as defined in the PAIMI Act [42 U.S.C. 10802(4) and its Rules at 42 CFR 51.2 Definitions, who have a complaint, for whom demographic data is collected, and for whom the PAIMI Program, or any of its subcontractors, provides an intervention (as reported under Intervention Strategies in this form).

Priorities (Goals) – are broad general descriptions of short term activities for the P&A system to accomplish within one (1) fiscal year (FY). [The exceptions are generally regulatory, legislative, and litigation activities]. The priorities must be directly related to the purpose of the enabling Federal legislation and the requirements of the Federal-funding agency and consistent with the priorities included in the PAIMI Application for the same FY. [See PAIMI Act at 42 U.S.C. 10801, PAIMI Rules at 42 CFR 51.24 (a) – Program Priorities, and the Children’s Health Act of 2000 at 42 U.S.C. at 290ii-ii-1 and 290jj-jj-2].

Public Awareness Activities - provide general information on disability rights and the purpose and mission of the P&A system. Public awareness activities include public service announcements, newsletters, radio or television, publications in legal journals, web site services, general distribution of agency brochures, etc.

Public Education and Constituency Training - is the dissemination of information to one or more persons through an interactive event, which often promotes a greater understanding of the constitutional or statutory rights of persons with disabilities. Contrasted to Public Awareness Activities, education and training must be specifically targeted to meet the unique need of the group(s) trained.

Racial/Ethnic Background -

Systemic Advocacy Activities – are the efforts taken to implement changes in policies and practices of systems that impact persons with mental illness. These "systems" include, but are not limited to, State agencies, various public and private residential care and treatment facilities, and other service providers, etc. [The PAIMI Rules at 42 CFR 51.24 (a) PAIMI Priorities state that systemic activities shall be addressed in the development and implementation of program priorities].
