LOCAL
PLANNING AND NETWORK DEVELOPMENT
Hill Country Community MHMR Center is required to develop a
local network development plan regarding the configuration and
development of its mental health provider network. The plan reflects
the local needs and priorities while maximize consumer choice and
access to qualified service providers. Hill
Country’s plan is available by clicking here.
The goal of this process and plan is for the
Center to incorporate strategies to ensure continuous consumer access
to services while the Center increasingly expands the network of
providers. The desired outcome is for consumers to have choice from
among multiple service providers and for the Center to provide
management and oversight of the provider network.
The extent to which this goal can be achieved and
how quickly it can be reached will depend on the circumstances, needs,
and preferences of the local communities served by the Center.
The Center gathered and obtained input from its stakeholders regarding
such things as:
· Service
needs and priorities of children, adolescents, and adults;
· Crisis
response system and services;
· Development
of the external provider network; and
· Other
significant issues and concerns.
