Review of the model MHO agreement will be continued at the next meeting. Questions can also be sent to Michael Stickler or Nicky Quackenbush. Physical medicine, private psychiatric care, corrections, homeless, and those in psychiatric distress are populations which need to be considered as being appropriate for services but are not receiving services. CPMS is the community data base. Data is collected through the submittal of forms to the Division.
Some programs are able submit data on-line.
It was also noted that even though the submittal of forms is not tied to reimbursement the encounter data is used to set rates. Without this data the rates could be very low. OMHS is currently working on a system to collect data on the extended care programs directly from the ECM Unit staff on their programs. Andy Brock, Data Base Analyst, HPU provided an overview on how the data is collected and what it is used for. Enrollment data is used to verify percentages to assist in rate setting.
