1. Department of Children and Families and Department of Mental Health Residential Procurement Panel Presentation to the Board of Early Education and Care March 13, 2012 Summary Presentation

2. CBHI Vision
The Children’s Behavioral Health Initiative places the child and family at the center of our service delivery system.
Policies, financing, management and delivery of publicly- funded behavioral health services will be integrated to make it easier for families to find and access effective services, and to ensure that families feel welcome, respected and receive services that meet their needs, as defined by the family.

3. Supporting the CBHI Vision Through Ch. 257 Procurement
Implement a structure for cross agency governance, administration and operations of residential services that supports future integration with home and community-based services, including those provided under the Children’s Behavioral Health Initiative.
Jointly design, price and procure Intermediate Youth Stabilization program models that best support client and system outcomes.
Implement performance based contracts that utilize fiscal incentives where feasible to leverage desired outcomes.
