Utah proposes supervision changes for behavioral health licensees
Date postedSeptember 6, 2023
The National Practitioner Data Bank indicates that Utah has a 44% rate of repeat offenders for medical malpractice payments and other adverse actions, higher than the national average of 25%. Proposals are being made to remove general experience hours requirements in favor of increasing direct client hours requirements, as well as defining what supervision means - a minimum standard for what supervision is, a minimum level of training for supervisors, and requirements for direct observation of supervisees.
