Abstract
Description
The Division of Child Mental Health Services (DCMHS) relies on a network of service providers to offer managed behavioral health care for Medicaid and non-Medicaid funded children with mental/emotional and/or substance abuse issues. DCMHS conducts an annual survey that asks providers about system performance and possible improvements. This summary reports the restilts from this year's survey. The summary is organized by the sections of the survey: (1) types of services provided, (2) DCMHS mission, (3) system performance, (4) provider's role in the system, (5) administration of the network, (6) clinical services management, and (7) the FY 1998 survey and other DCMHS communication tools. The survey was administered by the Center for Community Development and Family Policy (CCDFP) at the University of Delaware. CCDFP sent the survey to the 36 Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of agencies that provide services for DCMHS, and 30 Program Directors (PDs) of the individual sites where services are delivered. Out of 66 surveys distributed, 46 were retumed for a response rate of 70%, with almost equal proportions of CEO and PD respondents.
