Published Jan. 18, 2022 08:42
The draft regulation includes changes to the criteria for selecting offers contained in Annex 4 to the regulation. The proposed modifications mainly concern the remodeling of the criteria for selecting offers for healthcare services provided to children and adolescents at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd reference levels.
As a consequence of clarifying the current wording of the provisions of the basket regulation, additional subjects of proceedings were created at the I and II reference levels, taking into account the new scopes of guaranteed benefits.
Until now, the applicable conditions, assessed at the indicated levels, required changes, in particular in the categories of "personnel", "other conditions" and "organization of the provision of services". At each reference level, the condition: "Team supervision" was added as part of the monitoring of the service provision process. The bonus conditions in the "staff" category were lowered to the services provided in the mental health clinic and in psychiatric rehabilitation day wards for children and adolescents at the reference level II.
Additionally, the draft regulation introduces an update of the list of methods with scientifically proven effectiveness based on the recommendation of experts, extends and adjusts in the criteria of procedures for the conclusion of contracts for the provision of healthcare services to children and adolescents contained in parts: 2, 5, 8, 11, 16, 33 and 41 catalog of premium personnel, respectively, for: a specialist in the field of psychotherapy for children and adolescents, a person who has the decision of the minister competent for health to recognize scientific or professional achievements as equivalent to the implementation of a specialization training program in this field, in accordance with Art. 28 sec. 1 of the Act of February 24, 2017 on obtaining the title of specialist in areas applicable to health care (Journal of Laws of 2021, item 1297), a person undergoing specialization in the field of psychotherapy for children and adolescents ”. Rewarding specific staff depends on the nature of the criterion that has been in force so far, i.e. the qualitative or quantitative criterion. The draft regulation also proposes to change the term "psychotherapist" to "a person with a certificate of psychotherapist", which results from the change of the term defined in the basket regulation and is dictated by postulates reported by the psychotherapist community and the common understanding of the definition in the previous wording, which was misinterpreted.
The entry into force of the solutions provided for in the draft will allow to secure access to healthcare services under the model of psychiatric care for children and adolescents and should contribute to the selection of the best offers submitted in the course of the procedure for the conclusion of contracts for the provision of healthcare services, taking taking into account their quality, comprehensiveness, availability and price.
