Overview
The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) has issued a Plan to improve mental health services for adults with serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI). The Plan is being issued after lengthy discussions with the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice (USDOJ). In the Plan, the Authority commits to several performance outcome measures and to further data gathering and study of certain issues. Oregon also commits to quality and performance improvement measures, and to data reporting. These measures cover a broad array of subjects, including:
- Assertive Community Treatment Services;
- Crisis services;
- Supported housing;
- Peer-delivered services;
- Oregon State Hospital discharges and linkages to services;
- Acute psychiatric care discharges and linkages to services;
- Emergency department services;
- Supported employment services;
- Secure Residential Treatment Facility discharges;
- Criminal Justice diversion;
- Quality and performance improvement; and
- Data reporting.
