
Facilitate recovery for adults and resiliency for children;
Are responsive to individuals’ unique strengths and needs
throughout their lives;
Focus on prevention and early intervention;
Recognize, respect, and accommodate differences as they relate to
culture/ethnicity/race, religion, gender identity and sexual
orientation;
Ensure individual human rights and eliminate discrimination and
stigma;
Are provided in a comprehensive array by unifying programs and
funding building on natural and community supports unique to each
individual and family;
Are developed, monitored and evaluated in partnership with

OMHSAS Objectives
1) To
assure that individuals receiving behavioral health treatment
and supports have the opportunity to live and thrive in open
integrated community settings through building community
partnerships and integrating funding.
2) To redesign the children’s behavioral health system to better meet
the needs of children and their families
3) To expand behavioral health managed care statewide
4) To commit to a quality management system that is consistent
statewide, built on complete and accurate data, which measures
the quality and quantity of the consumer experience in the
system.
5) To assure the older adult population is recognized as a unique
population and the mental health and substance abuse needs of
3
older adults are met.

County Plan Update

As part of this year’s county planning process, counties were asked to submit a
(1)qualitative and an (2)administrative performance measure.

The qualitative measure addresses the recovery-orientation
of county programs by requiring the submission of a Vision
& Mission statement that supports the facilitation of
recovery of individuals with mental illness. The measure
also requires evidence of consumer involvement in the
development and concurrence with the Vision & Mission
Statement.






A one day panel review session of the qualitative measure will be conducted
in Harrisburg and should last approximately seven hours.
Counties that meet this measure will receive a financial award based upon
available funding.
The review will be conducted by a panel consisting of OMHSAS staff and
advisory committee members.
Although we are in the process of identifying a date, the review will take
place this month.
All counties have submitted a plan that includes a vision and mission
statement. The other requirements have not been determined.
Distribution of statewide aggregate county plan report is scheduled for
7
October of this year.
County Plan Update

The second measure was the timely, accurate and complete
submission of the required Consolidated Community
Reporting Performance Outcome Management System (CCR
POMS) data.

There are 20 county/joinders that have met the timeliness
portion of the measure by having 2 quarters of encounter
data submitted by June 30, 2006. So there could be no
more than those 20 to receive the incentive.

Of those 20 there are 3 that have a % of accepted
records below 50%.

The ‘reasonableness of completion’ of the submissions
needs to be discussed with the individual county.
