Andrews Center

Local Planning & Network Development

for Public Mental Health Service

 

Andrews Center (Center) developed a local network development plan as required by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS).  This plan was reviewed and approved by DSHS on February 17, 2009.  The plan will guide the configuration and development of a mental health provider network for the Center.  This plan reflects local needs and priorities and maximizes consumer choice and access to qualified service providers.

The goal of this plan is for the Center to incorporate strategies to ensure continuous consumer access to services while the Center increasingly expands its network of providers and maintains a steadily decreasing share of services provided by the Center.  The desired outcome is for consumers to have choice from among multiple service providers and for the Center to provide management and oversight of the provider network.

The extent to which this goal can be achieved and how quickly it can be reached will depend on the circumstances, needs, and preferences of the local communities served by the Center.

 

The Center has gathered input from its stakeholders regarding such things as:

• Service needs and priorities of children, adolescents,  and adults;
• Crisis response system and services;
• Development of the external provider network; and
• Other significant issues and concerns.
