Integrated Case Planning/Collaborative Case Management

JSI Vice President Chief Mack Jenkins (Ret.) will discuss Integrated Case Planning/Collaborative Case Management for the 2023 Colorado Problem Solving Court Conference.

All treatment courts are composed of multidisciplinary teams working towards a common goal with justice involved individuals with behavioral health issues. In most cases, the teams have more than one discipline that has a role requiring some form of a case plan, most commonly, supervision and treatment. Supervision may have a supervision plan with specific goals; treatment will have a treatment plan designed to help the participant reach clinical goals. Without well-coordinated plans, and collaboration in the effort to monitor the plans, there is a risk the participant may be confused, face redundancy, and be overwhelmed. Additionally, a lack of coordination and collaboration can cause tension, friction and “mission creep” within the team. Attendees will learn how to create a comprehensive case plan that addresses both criminogenic and clinical areas, and how to work together in employing the principles of case management in support of the participant’s recovery.
