Calgary Correctional Centre
Specialty: Addiction and Mental Health
Estimated time to routine appointment: Within 1 month
Alberta Health Services - Calgary Zone
SERVICE DESCRIPTION
The Rocky Mountain Program (RMP) is the Alberta provincial in-custody treatment program for those with sexually-based offences. Patients must be serving a jail sentence of less than 2 years as the program is in a provincial jail. RMP has replaced the old Phoenix Program, which was located at Alberta Hospital Edmonton.
  • treatment is provided by an Alberta Health Services multidisciplinary team of psychologists, nurses, social workers, and physicians
  • treatment takes place at the Calgary Correctional Centre
  • offenders referred to the RMP will participate in an intake assessment to determine their treatment needs & estimated risk of re-offending
  • RMP includes 2-3 weekly group therapy sessions over ~6 months (treatment frequency & duration is dependent on the offender's estimated level of risk)
  • through both process-oriented & psycho-education groups, participants will address their individual treatment needs. Criminogenic factors identified through research will be the primary focus
  • RMP uses a “best practices” approach & is not a “one size fits all” program. Concurrent individual therapy will be offered on an as-needed basis, and as resources allow.
  • upon completion of the RMP, post-treatment evaluations will determine whether follow-up treatment is recommended. Follow-up treatment is available through forensic outpatient services in Calgary or Edmonton
  • regular attendance, active participation, & completion of homework assignments are essential components of treatment. Absences from sessions & non-completion of homework may lengthen the time in treatment and/or lead to dismissal from the program

The primary purpose of the All Locations list is to let the user easily access any location of a healthcare service without going back to the main search screen.

The locations listed have 3 background colors:
  • Green means the healthcare service@location has referral information attached to it.
  • Brown means the healthcare service@location never had referral information attached to it, or it has unpublished referral information.
  • Red means
    • IA changed the healthcare service@location's status to something other than Current
    • It was deleted if it is an ARD healthcare service@location.
Green  and Brown are always at the top of the list. These are the Healthcare Service@Locations with the status of Current.
The Red list at the bottom consists of non-current Healthcare Service@locations that once had Published referral information in the ARD.
If the referral information was never published in ARD the Healthcare Service@location will not show in the Red list.

The secondary purpose of the All Locations list is to allow ARD Administrators to recover (copy) referral information from the non-current Healthcare Service@Locations to ones that are current.

Common Scenario:
A Healthcare Service moves from one location to another. In this case the IA Healthcare Service@Location record will be made defunct (non-current) and a new Healthcare Service@Location record will be created with a current status. In this scenario the captured referral guidelines in ARD can become "orphaned" as they are not attached to any current IA healthcare service.

Categories of non-current or orphaned referral guidelines: INDIVIDUAL and COMMON.
The REFERRAL GUIDELINES section of the profile has the prefix INDIVIDUAL or COMMON to help you choose the method below when transferring referral guidelines from a non-current Healthcare Service@Location to a current healthcare service@location.

Individual referral process
  1. Click on a non-current (Red) Healthcare Service@Location at the bottom of the All Locations list.
  2. The non-current referral info is displayed with the link Copy this Referral Process to another Healthcare Service@Location link on the upper right hand corner. Click on the copy link.
  3. Choose a current location (Green or Brown) from the All Locations list. This will be the Healthcare Service@Location you are pasting the referral info into.
  4. The system will display the Edit Referral Info screen populated with the referral info from the non-current Healthcare Service@Location you viewed in the first step.
  5. Click Save and the referral info is transferred from the non-current Healthcare Service@Location to the current one.
  6. Repeat these steps for each Healthcare Service@Location that needs attention.

Common referral process - 2 sub cases.
Case 1: At least 1 current Healthcare Service@Location with common referral info is with current status for this healthcare service; One or more Healthcare Healthcare Service@Locations where replaced by new one.
  1. Click on any current Healthcare Service@Location whether it has referral info (Green) or not (Brown).
  2. The healthcare service location opens in the Edit Referral Info screen populated with the current common referral info.
  3. Save it. 
  4. All locations will be updated with the common referral information, including all the locations that don't have referral info yet (Brown). The non-current referrals (Red) will also be updated.
Case 2:  All Healthcare Healthcare Service@Locations for a healthcare service are set to a non-current status and replaced by new ones. In this case there is no current additional referral info to copy from, so the only alternative is to pick up the non-current common referral process (Red). Follow the steps described in the section Individual Referral Process above to copy/paste the non-current common referral info to the current healthcare service locations.
Generally we want to replicate current common referral info to new or replaced healthcare service locations. We only resort to copying non-current common referral info if there is no other option.

Remember: Some fields can be location specific with the common referral process:
Parking Instructions, Directions, Parking Map, Wait Time, Referral Phone or Referral Fax.
To update these items you have to edit each Healthcare Service@Location separately.

ADDITONAL NOTES:
  • The info icon after the All Locations drop down will be visible to ARD Administrators.
  • The system doesn't allow you to copy referral information from one non-current Healthcare Service@Location to another.
