13 Limitations of Treatment Gaps and Needs Data General Issues

14 Data Limitations State law requires treatment matching for substance abuse (Good thing!) Supply of treatment distorts the assessed (and documented) needs of treatment (Bad thing!) Mental health screening is discretionary, not mandatory Fiduciary duty to evaluate and treat mental illness = disincentive to screen? Results in UNDERESTIMATE of treatment needs data. Low Demand = Low Supply for Treatment Capacity (Licenses for Intensive Services) Catch 22?

29 General Societal Demands of a Product or Service Good (Effective) Cheap (Affordable) Fast (Efficient)

30 Treatment Funding Expectations Administered/Allocated Fairly Measurable (How did it do?) Accountable (Where did it go?) Consistent with statutory or political intent Narrowed to specific populations Contracts! (Did we get what we asked for?) Auditable Driven by data/evidence Locally Controlled acknowledging community differences Based on individualized needs One size doesn t fit all Adaptable to changing conditions in field Agility Spent in full Spent quickly Little to no administrative costs Minimal administrative burden Easily accessible at the field/street level Less red tape/bureaucracy Simple

32 Treatment Funding Expectations (Can we have just 2?) Accountability Flexibility Efficiency

33 Structural Issues

34 Structural Issues Braided Funding Difficult to follow a dollar Contract rigidity and structure Horizontal and vertical information flow Business as usual doesn t change overnight Spending authority timeframes Variant statutory structures for treatment funding New stakeholders at the decision table Leadership and funding structure of new initiatives are undefined Diversion and Jails do not share the same system (level or type) of governance as probation, parole, and community corrections

35 Policy Consideration for Treatment Funding

36 Policy Considerations Congruency between statutory/political expectations and the state t budget process Consider first-year start up issues (HB1360) Explicit provisions for spending authority Consider the triad of accountability, flexibility, and efficiency and structure funding accordingly Consider short term planning timeframe (FY12) and long-term implementation issues (FY13 and beyond) Plan for the time related to recruitment and orientation of new stakeholder groups that make funding decisions Build in staffing and evaluation (administrative) provisions Statutory t t amendments to respond to structural t issues Unspent funds carrying over to next FY rather than being absorbed into general state funds Acknowledge the need (and limitations) of data-driven treatment needs
