You may upload and attach a MAR for the Level of Care screen only. However, it is important that the Level I screen contain all psychoactive/antidepressant medications prescribed for the individual in order to enable the database to

determine need for further screening. The Level I, however, contains drop-down options to help expedite that process for you. * Please do not include meds prescribed for medical conditions.

No, any authorized staff, who has user rights, at a facility may view screening information for persons at that facility. Staff is authorized by a supervisor at that facility and will be designated by the facility Assessment pro administrator as either clinical or administrative. Administrative staff may only enter demographic screening information.

Clinical staff (such as nurses, social workers, physicians) must enter all clinical information. When the screen is submitted, a clinical staff member from the facility must review the completed screen and attest to the accuracy of all information entered on the screen.
