Responsibilities
Assessment
The QMHP conducts face-to-face and telemedicine crisis assessments with patients to determine their specific needs. Patients in crisis may require immediate referral to medical services, assistance with concrete needs, such as food and clothing, or they may be in a state of psychological shock and require psychiatric intervention through inpatient admission.
Advocacy
Patients in crisis often enter a state of psychological shock and withdrawal as a way of handling the aftermath of the disaster or crisis situation. They may be momentarily unable to arrange for their immediate needs. The QMHP provides temporary forms of advocacy to help clients meet these needs and may include explaining the patient's needs to multiple service providers. The goal of the QMHP is to help patients regain sufficient levels of functioning so that they are able to resume advocating for themselves.
Referral
Providing accurate and timely referrals is another important responsibility of the QMHP. They must know the state of Illinois and Iowa's admission criteria for inpatient psychiatric services, and often mentor clinicians within the agency about the patient's mental health rights according to the state's mental health codes. They must be well-informed about community resources and different types of governmental assistance available to survivors of certain crisis situations. After assessing a client's needs and providing brief counseling, a crisis counselor refers the patient to the appropriate resource for continued assistance and treatment. The QMHP may be responsible for completing additional assessments to complete the referral process to another outpatient service area.
Clinical Supervision (non-managerial)
The Crisis Stabilization Clinician (QMHP) may provide clinical supervision to their team members when they themselves have received clinical supervision from a Licensed Mental Health Professional (LMHP) in order to meet the State of Illinois, Department of Human Services (DHS) Rule 132 requirement for providing Medicaid services. Each non independently licensed clinician who provides outpatient billable activities is required to receive 60 minutes of supervision per month.
