What It Does Not Do
It does not create new graduation criteria, score outcomes, generate discharge planning content, or make unsupported clinical recommendations.
Historical Basis
Completed decisions preserve the criteria set used so later review can understand what was considered at the time.
Does this tool decide graduation automatically?
No. It produces a structured completion-readiness summary from practitioner entries; the practitioner uses that information to decide whether completion is appropriate.
Can caregivers complete it?
No. The product specification defines no separate caregiver or family-facing experience for this checklist.
What happens if criteria are unresolved?
Unresolved criteria remain visible and the checklist should not present the graduation decision as complete.
Are exact PCIT criteria included in the demo?
Exact criteria are unresolved in the product specification, so demo criteria must be sample or configured content, not invented authoritative criteria.
