Amount, Scope, and Duration

Medicaid don't pay if you don't record this information accurately, in order to generate a documented encounter code.

Is there a more transparent, shorter, easier way to generate this necessary documentation?

Good plans are about your life, about the person, a map of outcomes, based on strengths, changing and evolving, and developed in more than one hour.

PCPC is a process, not a document, not a meeting, etc.

The more empowered the peer is in creating the PCP, the better the outcomes will be.

For our community, Self-determination is a journey of healing and transformation based on a foundation of recovery.

Self Determination for Peers

I'm at a workshop to discuss self-determination for peers in Michigan's mental health system. We have discussed barriers and ways to promote SD, and Pam Werner is now reviewing the history of attempts to get SD to work in our community.

She has mentioned paperwork, and failure to implement as the two biggest problems. She is focusing on the Person centered plan as being subordinate to the ultimate goal of "getting a life"

The ultimate question is "What is my dream"?

Look at Community Inclusion, Participation, Independence and Productivity.

RCSD Final: Next Steps

Because we broke into work groups for the final effort around priorities, I'll wait to post on the outcomes of the strategy planning for the minutes and other documents. But the results were pretty good. More later on this, and I'll be reporting from a Self-Determination Workshop focused on peers today!

RCSD7: Aftermath

We have settled on 6 priorities, and have finished coming up with some initial steps for one of the priorities. We just finished a good lunch and are regrouping for the rest of our planning. The objective we have finished is the "Statewide" Recovery Policy".

RCSD6: Top Priorities

We are rating the priorities from last meeting and coming up with an initiating activity for each. More later

RCSD5: More Vision

Respect is the way you tell whether the system is transforming; Every part of the system needs to be flooded with recovery; it needs to be seen everywhere.
We need an operational model of recovery to impact the system as an infrastructure; Boards need to be immersed in recovery;

RCSD 4: National Pillars of Support and More Vision

Supervisory support is a key Pillar of Support in the system; PSS ID; Issues of Support for burnout, building an outside life; not taking on too much; sharing ways to balance; support for peers working full time with benefits and a career path; eduation around nutritional approaches to recovery; positive media re recovery; resolve paradox of recipient rights and employee rights; all DCH documents related to recovery should be reviewed; we need a much fuller vision of a complete community system of supports based on recovery;

RCSD 3: More Vision

Concrete signs of respect for PSS; Stories by peers about how they are getting a life; professional incentives for understanding the recovery movement; actual effort by CMH to respect peers; held a conference focused on providers and recovery, and we will hold another this year; The RC has bonded, and will show collaboration in reaching the outcomes we plan today; More attention to rural areas, enough to publicly show their understanding of the importance of recover; empowerment of peers through modeling of RC activities, and modeling by peers;

RCSD 2: Accomplishments and Vision

# of peer support specialists; REE implementation and the data it produces; The system would understand and show that each person's chosen life is possible; relationships outside the system; PSS embedded in day to day workings of the system; Recovery in education and training and public education; PSS on university faculty in Georgia!!; More stories of recovery in the public arena and self-identified peers in positions of power;

Recovery Council Strategy Development, Part 1

Ike is leading our effort today, to build a Council strategy for 2010 at LCC West. We will be reviewing our vision and our priorities, and modeling our future relationship with DCH and the CMH system.
