| Visitation Evaluation:
An evaluation of the visits that occurred during a specified plan review period.
Visits can be reviewed as part of an outcome plan review to allow a user to evaluate the effectiveness and appropriateness of visits (or interactions) between the client visited and the visitor for whom a visitation has been scheduled during the outcome plan review period. The system presents the user with details of the client visited and visitor and the relevant log records that fall within the review period along with the calculated compliance. Visit compliance is calculated based on certain criteria including the visit duration, the contact method and whether the visit was scheduled, rescheduled or unscheduled. The actual compliant visits are then compared to the planned visits for the review period to determine the compliance value for the visits. The caseworker reviews the visits and compliance and enters an evaluation.
Example Daniel Smith is a 18 month child who has been placed in a foster care home as it was deemed by the child welfare agency that he was not safe staying at home with his mother, Julie Smith.
The child welfare caseworker dealing with Daniel creates an outcome plan for the family. The caseworker creates a visitation plan for Daniel and Julie to maintain relationships. The visitation plan outlines that Linda must make two face-to-face visits per month. Julie completes bi-monthly face-face visits with Daniel according to the visitation plan. The caseworker decides to perform a 6 month review and as part of the review, the caseworker evaluates the visits between Julie and Daniel. Since Julie has completed all planned visits in the review period, the calculated compliance is 100% and the compliance level is totally. The caseworker enters a 'Strong' evaluation result after reviewing the visits and compliance. |
