APPOINTMENTS BEFORE THE BOARD
MR. DAVID R. SWANN, AREA DIRECTOR FOR CROSSROADS
BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE DISCUSSES THE "LOCAL BUSINESS PLAN"
REGARDING MENTAL HEALTH REFORM & THE IMPLEMENTATION OF
STATE PLAN 2002: BLUEPRINT FOR CHANGE: David Swann, the Area Director
for the Crossroads Behavioral Healthcare, described the Local Business Plan needing to
be developed to meet the North Carolina Department of Health & Human Services'
requirements. He said the State's plan was lengthy, and it had the following four goals:
i. Consolidate area programs (There's 39 now, and the State would like no more than 20.)
2. Reduce the number of State hospital beds.
3. Best value purchasing ("Purchasing provider services and outsourcing it.")
4. Have a County Model (This would be a single -public entity that would
purchase services and shape public policy around community services for
persons needing health care.)
Swann said another goal was to direct public funds towards the target population.
He said some individuals who received assistance in the past would not be eligible for
services in the future. Mr. Swann then shared information about the following:
1. Timeline for the Local Business Plan (July 2002 - April 2003)
2. Consumer and Family Advisory Committee (CFAC)
3. Local Managing Entity Function Diagram
