Integrating Ongoing Feedback and Program Directions • Incorporate the Key Themes and Planning Directions that Stakeholders have emphasized in recent years: • Develop new and enhanced services for the prevention, early intervention, and treatment of mental health illnesses. • Continue to emphasize the integration of mental health and substance abuse services. • Ensure that individuals with mental health disorders, including co-occurring substance use disorders have access to a range of residential and acute treatment services. • Improve services!
Improving Services • WIC 5848 states that Plans shall include reports on the achievement of performance outcomes for MHSA services • Improve Services – as demonstrated by outcomes achieved • Reduce prolonged suffering • Improved access and linkage to services • Improved access to services for underserved populations • Demonstrate prudent use of expenditures to achieve outcomes for individuals with mental illness
DRAFT PEI Program Guidelines • DRAFT PEI Program Guidelines www.cmhda.org/go/committees/MHSA-committee-handouts • (under December 2013) • Proposes new guidelines on the use of PEI funds • Anticipate approval of guidelines soon • Includes new directions on use of funds, required performance measures, and program evaluation • More use of evidence based practices • Must demonstrate service criteria • Less funding for broad, universal, prevention programs
Required PEI Strategies • Intervene early in the onset of a mental illness • Required • Increase recognition of early signs of mental illness amongst designated first responders • Recommended • Additional strategies • Reduce risks related to mental illness • Stigma and discrimination reduction programs • Suicide prevention programs
Annual Report • All programs must demonstrate and report on: • Fidelity to an evidence based- or promising-practice • Specific criteria to program inclusion • The unduplicated number served or first responders trained • The number referred for services followed up on a referral, and who participated at least once in the referred service • The length of time an individual remained engaged in the services referred to • Interval between onset of symptoms and referral for services • Interval between referral to services and engagement in services • All indicators measured by age, gender, race, etc.
Program Plans Reflective of Performance Measures • DRAFT PEI Guidelines offer a Framework • Anticipate similar guidelines for CSS funding • The new 3-Year program and expenditure will incorporate Draft PEI Guidelines and Stakeholder Input for the use of performance measures • Strategic Objective – Develop a standardized set of outcomes for services and performance-based quality improvement processes
Key Planning Strategies • Leverage all available funds, including Medi-Cal • Use MHSA dollars to leverage additional state and federal resources • Move towards more evidence based and promising practices • Measure and evaluate program effectiveness • Leverage and expand use of technology • Invest in workforce training and development
Key Research Questions • What should we know about current services • What works well? • What services are missing, or not distributed well? • What are the recommendations to improve services? • Who should we be considering for new or enhanced services • What specific criteria should guide program enrollment into full service partnership and early intervention programs? • Who should we train as first responders? • What risk factors do we need to target to prevent mental illnesses?
