BY: Health & Human Services Committee - Shelley Taub, Chairperson
IN RE; Human Services/CMH-The Creation of Six New SR Hospital Liaison Positions
To The Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the responsibilities of Community Mental Health have expanded with
the organizational move to Full Management; and
WHEREAS it has been necessary to assign current staff to perform liaison
duties for Oakland County residents currently being served by State facilities;
and
WHEREAS this staff consists of Mental Health Clinicians who previously
provided direct services to individuals in specific agencies; and
WHEREAS the demand for direct services in these agencies has increased, in
part due to the shortage of staffing; and
WHEREAS it is necessary to permanently assign this staff into a job
classification that adequately describes the responsibilities and duties being
performed; and
WHEREAS this requires the creation of six (6) new Hospital Liaison
positions to provide liaison assistance with state hospitals in confirming
consumer residency, assessing needs, and assisting in the development of
treatment plans and pre-discharge planning; and
WHEREAS these positions would also be responsible for ensuring the security
of all consumer Federal and State entitlements including new or existing
programs, Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Social Security benefits,
and food stamps; and
WHEREAS securing all eligible entitlements for consumers would result in
a decrease in the total amount of Community Mental Health expenditures; and
WHEREAS the proposed new positions would also be responsible for ensuring
that all applications and paperwork were completed and returned to the Department
of Social Services for consumers eligible for such entitlements; and
WHEREAS funding for the proposed six (6) additional positions is available
in the Community Mental Health contingency fund.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
approves the creation six (6) new SR Hospital Liaison positions in the
Admission/Discharge Unit (#16641).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that future existence of these positions be
contingent upon continuation of state funding.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Health & Human Services Committee. I move the
adoption of the foregoing resolution.
