Community Justice Collaborating Council Mental Health Subcommittee Work Plan Report on Area Bed Need for Emergency Detentions, Hospital Emergency Department Tele-Health and law Enforcement Crisis Intervention Training Updates were provided on the 3 areas of focus. 1. Determine Area Bed Needs--Behavioral Health Administrator Steve Kirt reviewed collected data, and work done regarding local resources and area bed needs. He informed the group that Mayo in Eau Claire is opening a partial hospitalization unit April 1st. Also Mayo shared that in 2016, so far, 600 people have called for a bed and nothing was available. The length of stay is a major factor in bed availability. Counties do a good job with diversions which then leaves the clients that need lengthy hospitalizations. The goal would be that the partial hospitalization would allow inpatient beds to open more quickly. A facility opening in Green Bay that will serve all behavioral health needs, but they will not take MA. Questions around how this facility came to be and what does this corporation have to offer St. Croix County. This group would like to bring Pat Cork from the State to the table for discussion. Captain VanSomeron shared forensics info received from Brad Munger. It is taking 60 days to get into court for competency hearings and then another 60 days to get them hospitalized in Mendota. 2. Emergency Department Tele-Health -- Valley Coop is moving forward and planning to build a new service line. The goal is to have an in-house resource for Crisis Stabilization. A licensed professional would provide this service and currently looking at how to meet the staffing needs. There still needs to be further conversations with Health and Human Services and the state regarding the requirements for these assessments and also what is needed to be under the HHS 34 license. The state is in support of this effort. The goal is to have a professional that is working with Washington, Ramsey as well as Dakota Counties. 3.
