This regulation requires that every person receiving treatment under Pennsylvania's Mental Health Procedures Act have their treatment plan reviewed at least once every 30 days, with findings summarized in the clinical record. Decisions and redispositions resulting from the reexamination must also be documented in the patient's clinical record as a progress note or other approved form. The requirement applies to all treatment facilities operating under the act, as established by the chapter's broader scope governing inpatient psychiatric and mental health treatment settings.
