IN RE: INSTITUTIONAL AND HUMAN SERVICES - COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH -
QUALITY ASSURANCE MICROCOMPUTERS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS:
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County Community Mental Health provides 250,000 client
sessions per year which must be fully documented in order to comply with CMH
clinical standards as well as with third-party insurance regulations, which
also require that documentation meet Joint Commission on Accreditation of
Health Organizations quality assurance standards; and
WHEREAS implementation of quality assurance documentation on the scale
of the Community Mental Health program is only feasible through computerization,
which will also help with accreditation of CMH services, and will prevent the
loss of potential third-party, Medicaid and Medicare revenue; and
WHEREAS computer-based quality assurance recordkceping will result in
improved care for all age groups and at-risk populations, and will facilitate
cooperation with other human service providers and organizations around the
County; and
WHEREAS Oakland County Community Mental Health has committed itself to
seek the highest level of accreditation possible, and to assure that its
services continually plan and execute studies of the appropriateness and
cost-effectiveness of mental health programming; and
WHEREAS the Community Mental Health Services Board has accordingly
authorized a proposal for the purchase of 12 microcomputers from a County-
approved vendor, to be placed in various CMH service sites; and
WHEREAS this acquisition of microcomputers does not in any way compro-
mise, compete with, or replace the services provided by the Oakland County
Computer Services Division for Community Mental Health, nor any of its
intended applications, and is simply an enhancement of the existing CMH
Management Information System; and
WHEREAS funds for the purchase of the 12 microcomputers are available
within the current Community Mental Health budget, through redirection of
unexpended dollars in the current fiscal year, and no additional County
match is required; and
WHEREAS this proposal is for a one-time expenditure, and does not
obligate the County to any future commitment:
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commis-
sioners approve redirection of $53,856 within the Community Mental Health
Division budget for purchase of 12 Quality Assurance microcomputers, as
recommended by the Community Mental Health Board.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Health and Human Services Committee, I
move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
