DHW Update moved forward. Realignment of DHW so that there is more efficiency and consistency statewide. Move away from the distinct regional offices toward a more unified degree. Hiring freeze mentioned. Major effort statewide from Jeff D lawsuit. Ed passed out information on the Jeff D. suit. Some of the concerns surrounding the suit were brought up, such as memorandums of agreements, move away from the memorandums to a charter system which will outline duties of each council, etc. This is being done in order to promote consistency throughout the state. The concern regarding authority of entities to sign memorandums was raised. The charter agreement will supercede all previous agreements or memorandums. Difficulties that are being encountered with the centralization were discussed, mainly the difficulty in getting local problems solved at a statewide level, instead of having local councils dealing with familiar problems. Regional directors have very little authority, but must go to Boise to have any questions answered. Ed mentioned that DHW becoming a managed care system instead of being direct care providers, which is also causing some concerns. Protocol for facilities to access emergency services was discussed. Some districts do not have protocol established and have problems just getting a DE done. Brian has asked for all detention administrators to contact him regarding any existing protocols for accessing emergency mental health services.
