LOCUS and CALOCUS
The AACP developed the Level Of Care Utilization System, (LOCUS), and the Child/Adolescent Level Of Care Utilization System (CALOCUS).
LOCUS and CALOCUS are clinical tools that evaluate and determine level of care placements for psychiatric and addiction services for both adult and child/adolescent populations. They are comprehensive utilization management systems, which are designed to generate various managerial reports, aggregate patient data, track patients, and promote accurate scoring and ease of use.
These tools are designed for use by clinicians and managed care organizations alike. Subsequently, they promote increased communication between providers and payers. When implemented, LOCUS and CALOCUS effectively benefit individuals with mental health and substance abuse issues by quickly and accurately assessing their needs without removing clinical judgement.
