PROPOSED GUIDELINES AND PLANNING IMPLICATIONS PART II

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 (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?
