HCD.4:5.3 - Unlike Case: Clinical and Participation Profiles

For an adult seeking treatment for social anxiety, use qualified clinical care for diagnosis, treatment targets, provider competence, safety, and outcome interpretation. Symptom scales, exposure ladders, treatment plans, and provider pathways inform that clinical work; they do not by themselves establish a profile of the person’s contributions in later Work.

HCD.4 may compare condition-qualified contributions for a separately legitimate non-clinical participation or later-Work question only when the person and clinical owner supply a safe boundary and compatible evidence. A symptom change alone does not demonstrate the later-Work contribution. HCD.4 does not select treatment, and clinical safety must not be traded against productivity. Managerial authority over allocation confers neither clinical competence nor clinical decision authority and does not replace the person’s consent. If the required boundary or evidence is missing, return profile-decision-blocked; route a clinical question to its clinical owner.
