The ACF Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) places unaccompanied children in their custody in care provider programs until unification with a qualified sponsor. Care provider programs are required to ensure children receive appropriate medical, mental health and dental services. Children identified as having complex medical/dental conditions may require a procedure while in ORR custody to maintain and promote their health and wellbeing. Procedures requiring general anesthesia, surgeries, and invasive diagnostic procedures (e.g., cardiac catheterization, invasive biopsy, amniocentesis) require advance ORR approval. Before ORR can approve, the following data must be collected and submitted to ORR by the care provider program and the lead surgeon - diagnoses, procedure name(s), current procedural terminology (CPT) code(s), clinical indications, potential risks/complications of procedure, timing for procedure/proposed date, potential adverse outcomes if the procedure is not performed, timeframe for recovery, potential follow-up procedures, follow-up care, and points of contact. In certain circumstances, ORR will waive the completion of the SMR form if it is deemed to be in the best interest of the child’s safety and well-being (e.g., during a hospitalization or emergency department visit, medical emergencies).

Miscellaneous Actions
Several changes were made to the SMR Form including, 1) rewriting the intro section and adding guidance on completing and submitting the form, 2) adding fields on consent, procedure name and planned follow-up procedures, 3) rewording existing fields, and 4) removing unnecessary fields. ORR has incorporated these changes to the form to streamline the flow of data collection, clarify intent and purpose of the form and fields, improve data quality, and ensure alignment with ORR program policies. The overall estimated time per form has increased by 1 minute and has been adjusted to reflect a decrease by 1 minute for care provider program staff and an increase by 2 minutes for surgeons.
