A. The Oklahoma Health Care Authority, the Department of Human

Services and the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse

Services, in cooperation with community stakeholders, shall develop

a prescreening process to be utilized prior to an individual being

admitted to a nursing facility or within twenty (20) days of

admission to such a facility. The purpose of the screening process

nursing facility have access to supports necessary to remain in the

community. The prescreening process shall include, but not be

limited to, the use of the following tools:

1. Resident Assessment Instrument – Minimum Data Set (RAI-MDS),

as designated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services;

2. Universal Comprehensive Assessment Tool (UCAT);

3. Preadmission Screening and Annual Resident Review (PASARR);

4. Inventory for Client and Agency Planning (ICAP); and

5. Uniform Case Assessment Protocol (UCAP).

B. The Oklahoma Health Care Authority Board shall promulgate

rules necessary to implement the prescreening process developed

pursuant to this section, provided funding is made available to

implement the process.
