  6. Monitoring • Common findings: • Don’t tell clients number of tests • Maintain MTRs in file • Change code-a-phone every day (no more than 12 hours notice) • DTL completion by client, not staff (vendor is witness to client information) • Co-payment documentation on DTL and MTR (paid or owed) • Non-compliance reported to assigned officer within 24 hours

  7. Monitoring (con’t) • COC completion, (confirmation only, not primary panel) and Pretrial forms used for defendants and Probation forms for offenders (do not mix up) • Monthly contact with officers and document • Review Program Plan prior to services • Sign and send packing slips upon receipt (Pretrial to Adriana and Probation to Carla) • Notify of staff changes immediately- use Attachment C form available on intranet, filled out completely • Next year • Electronic files OK, no need to print
