1. Pharmacy Program: Reflects a savings in funding for
medication costs by requiring all directly operated
mental health clinics to participate in a Patients
Assistance Program to increase the number of clients
eligible for benefits and by changing the Department’s
management of the medication formulary by educating
psychiatrists on the cost of therapy and the possible use
of alternative medications.
(1,595,000) -- 148,000 (1,743,000) --
Collaborative Programs
1. Katie A. Settlement Agreement Strategic Plan
(Katie A. Strategic Plan): Reflects the continued
implementation of the Katie A. Settlement Agreement
Corrective Action Plan for the mental health screening
and assessment and the mental health services delivery
component of the Board-approved Katie A. Strategic
Plan. Funding is provided for contract providers’
wraparound services to augment intensive in-home
mental health services in accordance with the phased-in
approach originally planned with the Katie A. Strategic
Plan. The shift in appropriation from services and
supplies to salaries and employee benefits will fund
2.0 positions for additional oversight to ensure
compliance with the Katie A. Strategic Plan, fully funded
with State and federal revenues and intrafund transfer
from the Department of Children and Family Services
(DCFS).
2. Juvenile Justice Programs: Reflects funding for
22.0 positions, completing the addition of positions that
began in FY 2010-11, to provide enhanced mental
health services in the Probation Camps to comply with
the County’s Action Plan pursuant to the Memorandum
of Agreement with the Department of Justice, partially
offset by the reduction of 2.0 positions for the Adult Day
Reporting Center, and reduced funding from the
Probation Department. Also reflects funding for
overtime to retrieve patient’s real-time electronic health
records information to assist in the clinical decisionmaking
process and for contracted services related to
the Countywide Gang and Violence Reduction Initiative
to reduce gang violence, improve public safety, and
promote positive behavioral change for those at risk. In
addition, reflects a decrease in intrafund transfer from
DCFS for the Supportive and Therapeutic Option
Program.
