Okla. Stat. tit. 10, § 10-603.4: Day treatment program standards

A. In accordance with the standards recommended by the

Committee on Day Treatment Standards in its report dated November 2,

1994, the State Board of Health, the Board of Mental Health and

Substance Abuse Services and the Oklahoma Health Care Authority

Board shall promulgate rules establishing standards for day

treatment programs, as defined in Section 175.20 of this title, and

shall monitor, not less than annually, compliance with the

standards, if funds are available. The responsibilities of the

boards regarding enforcement of and monitoring of compliance with

the rules shall be as follows:

1. The State Board of Health shall be responsible for the

promulgation of rules establishing standards for day treatment

programs other than those operated by community mental health

centers;

2. The Board of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services

shall be responsible for the promulgation of rules for day treatment

programs operated by community mental health centers; and

3. The Oklahoma Health Care Authority Board shall monitor

compliance of outpatient hospital day treatment services with the

standards in the Medical Providers-Hospital Specific Manual, OAC

317:30-5-42(a)(6). Any program found to be out of compliance with

such standards shall be subject to cancellation of its authorization

for day treatment services within its contract with the Oklahoma

Health Care Authority according to rules governing such contract

cancellations.

B. The boards shall coordinate development and monitoring of

rules to the maximum extent reasonable and practical in order to

avoid unnecessary contradiction or conflict and to minimize the

incidence of duplicative monitoring of day treatment program.
