1 Focused Stakeholder Sessions September 2013 Facilitated by: The Carl Vinson Institute of Government

2 Introduction As indicated in the announcement for this meeting, the Department is evaluating how it can improve the current service delivery infrastructure & system monitoring through an Administrative Services Organization or “ASO” process. Currently, the Department holds contracts with three (3) vendors to provide essential services to both Behavioral Health (BH) and Developmental Disability (DD) populations. Those services are: Georgia Crisis and Access Line (Behavioral Health Link) External Review Organization for Behavioral Health (APS Healthcare) Developmental Disabilities Quality Management (Delmarva)

3 Introduction Current contracts with above mentioned vendors have reached the end of their respective renewal periods and a re-procurement process is underway. Contract deliverables among these providers include supporting the service delivery infrastructure and system monitoring, direct collaboration with service providers, and the provision of services and supports to the individuals we serve. In Fiscal Year 2014, DBHDD will rebid these services under a single, comprehensive contract as an Administrative Services Organization (ASO).

4 Today’s Format DBHDD has asked us to facilitate this meeting so that UGA can: Gather non-biased information directly from stakeholders about the issues that affect you Assist in the consistency of information shared regarding the procurement so the process is not compromised Review DBHDD’s stated goals for the Access and Quality Reengineering Facilitate feedback to DBHDD Leadership based on targeted questions

5 Today’s Objectives To educate stakeholders on the access and quality reengineering goals, to strengthen DBHDD/stakeholder relations. To gather your feedback about DBHDD service access and quality to guide the Department’s reengineering of how these statewide administrative functions are offered.

6 DBHDD Goals for Access & Quality Reengineering Reinforce recovery, resiliency, person-centered planning, independence, and wellness values Facilitate timely access to high-quality behavioral health and developmental disabilities services and supports Integrate GCAL function with the authorization process, resulting in more direct access to individualized and targeted services

8 DBHDD Goals for Access & Quality Reengineering Create behavioral health clinical pathways and other strategies which promote access, coordination, and intentional service delivery and outcomes to the individuals we serve Support a community based system of care by using resources to coordinate and support services in the community and reduce institutional care whenever possible

10 DBHDD Goals for Access & Quality Reengineering The provision of easy access to high quality care to those living with behavioral health(BH) needs and developmental disabilities (DD) is fundamental to DBHDD’s mission. The Department’s contracted providers are essential to carrying out this mission by delivering an array of quality services. The ASO will provide tools to support the network and Department in achieving these goals.
