Sources of Survey of Regions and Districts, Survey of Hospitals, JPHSA, PIP, OMHIIS (FY 2011)
Information:
Special Issues: FFT is now offered in 5 Regions/LGEs, whereas it was offered in only 4 LGEs (JPHSA, FPHSA,
Region III and Region V) during the previous fiscal year. This indicator was reported as a number
(the numerator only) in FY 2007. Information from surveys is based on Region and LGE report, and
not all EBP's are evaluated for fidelity. *MHSD/Region 1 did not collect data on EBPs.
FY 2010 Actual = 381/ 7,197 X 100 = 5.3%.
Significance: Evidence-based practices have been shown to be effective and efficient treatment modalities that lead
to positive outcomes
Action Plan: The EBPs that have been offered and that were reported on the surveys have not all been held to
fidelity. Because measurement of EBPs not held to fidelity may not be meaningful, education on the
EBPs, proper treatment focus, and accurate measurement will be a focus. The expectation is that data
collected on EBPs held to fidelity will be more useful. Data collected from OMHIIS will be
qualitatively better than that collected on the Survey of Regions and Districts/ Hospitals. This data
source will be utilized starting in FY2011, so that EBP data will not rely solely on the Surveys. The
Block Grant indicators will be monitored through the Committee on Programs and Services of the
Louisiana Mental Health Planning Council. The Planning Council Committee on Programs and
Services is responsible for monitoring and evaluation of the mental health system and for
recommending service system improvements to the Council. Attempts to provide improved services are
a priority for Louisiana.
