Create one row for each role: assessment, medical review, medication decisions, counseling, care-plan oversight, crisis escalation, family communication, and continuing-care planning. Use columns titled named person or role, claimed credential, public verification, assigned duties, supervision, actual access, and status. In the status column, enter only confirmed, needs review, or not established. Add the date and the name or department of the person who answered.
Then compare substance, not polish. A clear answer names the responsible role, explains the limits of that role, identifies supervision, and gives you a reasonable verification path. A weak answer relies on phrases such as clinical team without explaining who does what. One unanswered question does not automatically disqualify a facility, but repeated ambiguity around assessment, medication responsibility, supervision, urgent escalation, or continuing care is a sound reason to pause and request clarification.
- Checkpoint 1: Can you identify who owns each important decision?
- Checkpoint 2: Can you verify credentials relevant to those duties?
- Checkpoint 3: Are supervision and access explained, not merely implied?
