Which action is part of the seventh step of program referrals?

• A. Program completion - Close referral correctly and submit a board transmittal if needed
• B. First Step of TRAS - Tool - Use correct TRAS tool and score correctly
• C. Second Step of TRAS - Timeliness - Complete TRAS within policy timeframe
• D. Third Step of TRAS - Score - Score each domain within the appropriate score range

Answer: (A)

The action at this stage is about finalizing the referral and making sure it’s officially closed. After using the correct TRAS tool, scoring accurately, and completing the steps within the required timelines, the next essential step is to close the referral correctly and, if needed, submit a board transmittal. This final step ensures the case is officially wrapped up in the system, all documentation is complete, and any required oversight communication is properly routed. It prevents open or ambiguous referrals from lingering and preserves a clear, auditable record of the outcome. That's why this option best fits as the seventh step in the program referrals process.
