LOUISIANA Community Mental Health Services Block Grant ...

The Office of Behavioral Health is developing a customized Sharepoint site is being designed to
function as the new office Intranet. The Sharepoint site will have three major folders, with standard
folder structure under each:
Office of Behavioral Health (OBH)
OBH - Mental Health
OBH - Addictive Disorders
.
In this way, policies, standards, procedures, etc. which remain focused on only mental health or
addictive disorders could be listed under their respective areas, and any items pertaining to OBH as a
whole, under the OBH heading, with the goal that more of the separate items would integrate and
migrate to the OBH folder. Currently, Addictive Disorders and Mental Health have a different
organizational schema for these areas, and the new Intranet functions will begin the process of
combining functions, policies, planning, etc.
Some of the categories of the Intranet being considered are:
Executive Leadership
Policy & Legislative Initiatives
Continuous Quality Improvement
Workforce Development
Research & Grant Writing
Data Management
System of Care
Operational Framework
Planning, Partnerships & Linkages
Special Initiatives
Emergency Preparedness
LGE & Direct Service Operations
Program Monitoring & Compliance
Since the Office of Behavioral Health is shifting to a District model, the role of the office will be
changing over the next few years to one of “monitoring the monitor” while still providing some direct
services.
