  2. Principles Guiding A Transformed Child Welfare and Juvenile Justice System • Establish relationships built on integrity • Guide the system by being rooted in the community, by emphasizing family centered practice, by placing value on face-to-face contact, and by building change throughout the enterprise • Establish partnerships in which decision-making, responsibility, and accountability is shared • Hold all areas of the system accountable to specify outcomes, learn continuously, and reinforce success • Agree that culture change occurs over time and all stakeholders bear responsibility for this change

  3. Outcomes • Safety • Permanency • Well-Being • Academic Preparation and Skill Development • Rehabilitation of Offenders • Safety for the Community

  4. Defined as aligning activities that recognize the importance of the family unit to a child’s healthy development Involving families in the planning process will reach more positive results sooner & with lasting effect Family centered practice must occur within the family unit and in the context of the family’s community Family centered practice recognizes and supports cultural differences and strengths To Achieve These Outcomes, A Family Centered Model of Practice

  5. What Activities Will Support This Model? • Family team meetings • Community partnerships • Community care for low risk families • Stronger ties between economic assistance and child welfare • Improved outcomes for children of color • Streamlined documentation

  6. What Steps Will Be Taken? • Engage the family in the assessment process • Develop one family plan across all agencies and services • Delineate roles between case monitoring & case coordination • Develop a state-wide quality assurance system • Move resolutely toward purchasing outcomes

  7. Financing The System • The Barriers • RTSS Issues • Reliance on Federal Funds • Payment for activities not outcomes • The Proposed Solution • Case rates as a strategy • Waivers

  8. Financing The SystemInterim Strategies • Explore payment methodologies that achieve results but can be implemented without federal waivers. • Modify the existing non–RTSS program rules to enable greater purchasing flexibility. • Modify existing RTSS requirements, within current Medicaid requirements. Additional modifications needing CMS approval will also begin, • Modify existing contracts with RTSS providers to include outcome reporting. • Define array of service/support options for possible use with case rate model. • Begin using the case plan as a “contract” with the family, providers, and DHS. • Explore possible modifications to existing authorization process to address • concerns that current process is burdensome. • Keep the case coordination function in the public sector for all cases.

  9. System Linkages • Private Providers • Legislative • Judicial • Education • Substance Abuse and Public Health • The Child Welfare / Juvenile Justice System

  10. Why Is This Redesign Better? • “Diversion” of low risk kids to community resources • At least two demonstration projects for children of color • One family plan required for all cases • Differentiation of case monitoring and case coordination • Differentiated population • New quality assurance system • Financing • Specification of results • Payment for outcomes
