§ 10-603.4 — Day treatment program standards.

A. In accordance with the standards recommended by the Committee on Day Treatment Standards in its report dated November 2, 1994, the State Board of Health, the Board of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services and the Oklahoma Health Care Authority Board shall promulgate rules establishing standards for day treatment programs, as defined in Section 175.20 of this title, and shall monitor, not less than annually, compliance with the standards, if funds are available. The responsibilities of the boards regarding enforcement of and monitoring of compliance with the rules shall be as follows: 1. The State Board of Health shall be responsible for the promulgation of rules establishing standards for day treatment programs other than those operated by community mental health centers; 2. The Board of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services shall be responsible for the promulgation of rules for day treatment programs operated by community mental health centers; and 3. The Oklahoma Health Care Authority Board shall monitor compliance of outpatient hospital day treatment services with the standards in the Medical Providers-Hospital Specific Manual, OAC 317:30-5-42(a)(6). Any program found to be out of compliance with such standards shall be subject to cancellation of its authorization for day treatment services within its contract with the Oklahoma Health Care Authority according to rules governing such contract cancellations. B. The boards shall coordinate development and monitoring of rules to the maximum extent reasonable and practical in order to avoid unnecessary contradiction or conflict and to minimize the incidence of duplicative monitoring of day treatment program.
